RIP Gerry Summers

All at Sheffield United are saddened to learn of the passing of the last member of one of the greatest defences ever to grace the Bramall Lane turf, and his name was Gerry Summers.

My first team as a regular except Tony Wagstaff had replaced Billy Russell by then.
Amazing how the starting eleven barely seemed to change back then from year to year or week to week plus there were no subs, and yet there were hardly any injuries and managers never ever said their players were burnt out 🤷‍♂️

But they had a sponge and a freezing bucket of water to cure them.

What great days they were and such a classy defence. Gerry Summers was great on the ball while Richardson was the hard man. Joe Shaw should have played for England but we all know that's another story.
RIP Gerry you've left me with some great memories.
 
RIP Larry Lloyd died aged 75.He was a good old fashioned Centre Half and was a part of the Forest side that won 2 European cups,also played for Liverpool and i'm sure he was in the Wigan team at BDBL the night when Keith Edwards scored a late winner for the BLADES in our 4th division championship season,Larry could've been player manager for Wigan that season.UTB

I well remember singing 'You're just a fast b'stard, Larry Lloyd, Larry Lloyd' which successfully wound him up and distracted him long enough for Edwards to score the goal. He didn't deserve it, Lloyd. He was a big lad, but he'd had a fine career. RIP lad.
