Quoted from Perkins
I doubt with this only being a friendly it will live up to anything like previous encounters of which there have been some classics.
The best I remember was the end of season game in 1980 when we beat them 4-0 and won promotion from the third to the second division. Over 19,000 at BP with Joe Waters scoring and Drinkell getting a hat trick.
Their side had the magical & legendary Alex Sabella who went on to play for Leeds and managed Argentina till 2014, but he was kept totally out of the game that day by our own legend Kevin Moore.
Great Days.

My first ever town game. No wonder I was hooked from that day to the end of my days.

Still remember being in the main stand with my dad, god rest his soul. The memories I have are still clear, Drinks goals, sabella's flowing dark hair, smells of fags and beer and the trophy presentation and crowd on the pitch afterwards.

Doesn't get much better than that for a first game!

When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”

For what its worth my daughter lives about two streets away from Bramall Lane, myself and my wife could of gone to one game at Sheff UTD for free last season having won a competition but we couldn't be arssed, so our daughter went instead ( I think they lost 2-0 at home to the Scunts)

Their manager does not sound too bright. Speaks in sound bites and repeats himself. Apart from saying the performance was not acceptable he gave no clue as to what he thinks needs to change. His message to his players seemed to be buck your ideas up or ship out.

Hope the local chippies have extra cod and Henderson's relish on order so they can cope!

Good to see a decent away following.  Take out the Gimps and it's probably more than all the other away fans who came to BP last year combined!
