Four Blades In The Pub

01/12/2021

Fantastic to chat to former Blade (and Wimbledon, Newcastle, Watford, Palace etc) and Welsh international Glyn Hodges this week.

A hero, a man whose left foot was magic and who funded his own transfer fee in sweepstake ticket purchases from fans. Lots of great memories of times with United, having Gazza round his flat, playing for Wales and quite a few scrapes. His 1-11 of teammates is superb.

The lads sit down with the Grand National funded Welsh wizard and recall his times adorning the red and white stripes. We loved it and we sure you will! UTB

Great to chat with Jamie Hoyland last night, about his career, growing up as the son of a former Blades player, and focusing on The Great Escape season under Dave Bassett where the similarities with this season are quite stark.
