Didn't realise it was that long ago Casper but can't find anything on the internet about it so I guess it was before online reporting became the norm. I was friends with his brother Dino growing up.

Considering what he did it's a bit creepy to remember that Colburn once saved me from a beating. He was a Blade and we were playing them in a Yorkshire Cup pre-season game at Millmoor, mid 70s I'd guess. Game was petering out, late in the 2nd half when a bunch of Sheff Utd skinheads came marauding on the Tivoli. He was amongst them and as the crowd was pretty thin me and a mate were isolated in a corner as everone scattered. Just about the fear the worst, he looked at me and said to his mates 'leave them, they are Blades' and they moved on. Phew!
