There was also the game, I think it was new years day when Mike Watterson was our chairman and we had Viv Busby up front and I think they turned us over that day too.
Best memory though was when we played them in an Anglo - Scottish Cup pre season tournament on a Summers night which was remembered for an old Blade called DINKY who decided from the terracing that the blades front 2 needed some assistance literally.
On to the pitch jumped Dinky and he even nodded on a goal kick to the winger for the Blades at the time,
The game actually carried on for a few seconds though this seemed like an age until the Chezzy back 4 realised the difference between a Blades shirt and Dinky's blue and green Sergio Tacchini.
This then introduced 2 gentlemen from the local constabulary who duly dragged Dinky off the pitch, one on each arm,
I will never forget the resistance Dinky put up as the Coppers dragged him off and throughout the rest of the game you could see Dinky's legacy of 2 parallel tractor type marks on the Saltergate Pitch from the penalty spot to the toucline.
Great Memories - Whatever happened to old Dinky ? - Similar looking to Jesus Christ he was !!
