Goalscorer for Blades against Blackburn

Post by ClaretTony » Fri Jun 18, 2021 11:24 am

I saw this yesterday. The player pictured scored the goal when Sheffield United beat Blackburn 1-0 in a reserve game in 1994.

Apparently the story is that Sheffield United at the time played their home reserve games at Saltergate. Chesterfield had a player coming back from injury and they needed to get him a game so Sheffield United obliged.

Now I thought it was Scotty Arfield that put the ball in their net for a 1-0 win, I didn't know this bloke had as well.

Was living in Chesterfield at the time and recall the Blades did play some reserve games at Saltergate!
I liked that old ground.
Great pic!

Yes. Clive Oliver was a Football League ref for a good number of years.
