Sabella made his BLADES debut,what a wonderful talented player he was the only problem was our club was on a downward spiral,TC had gone to Leeds and Woody was comin to the end of his BLADES career.UTCB

...and shin pads were definitely out of fashion for young Blades..! I still have the scars, thanks Alex. And to think if it hadn't been for FFP we could have had Maradonna as well.

I liked Sabella not as much as i liked TC,but i did like him.

I liked Sabella not as much as i liked TC,but i did like him. No one comes close in my estimation to TC mate,the closest is the late gr8 WOODY but Alex signed at the wrong time for us,he was on a different planet to the rest of our players at the time,given that as i said previously WOODY was comin to the end of his BLADES career.UTCB

Would love to have seen him play in TC's team.

Never saw him play and lead to believe I missed something rather special

Same goes for TC

Colin Morris onwards for me.

Yes this exactly , loved him bit those dirty ****s on boxing day did us good style , Didn't Mick Speight get carried off as well , and we had a Black goal keeper at the time , Derek Richardson if I am not mistaken , I hope this not an omen for 24th September!!!
