Son of Sam Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 In 1966 I was 7. I remember that England won the World Cup. We lost in the FA Cup final 3-2 to Everton. We were the first team to get to a final playing every fixture away. We were the first losing team to do a 'lap of honour'. My father took me to Hillsborough to cheer the team home. I was on his shoulders. Don't know anything about egg day. You tell us all about it. You raised it. Over 100 posts on this topic, all of you with fantastic memories (except for the one or two Owls who remember the Blades being on the kop) Your contradictions amaze me. So not one of you can remember the egg day, but you remember all the others? Was it a big day in your history? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It never hapened, how could it have? Blades have never been on the kop at Hillsborough, just an old Blade myth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did your father take you down to Bramall Lane after a Cup final defeat/victory? Or did he just throw eggs on 'egg day'? I bet that was memorable.

Guest Deleted member Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 I was on the Utd end that day - I think the 1200-1500 claims are probably nearest the truth - I went with my next door neighbour who didn't tell my parents (or me) that we were going on the Utd end - I was 13 at the time. We even went in their pub (I think its the Sheaf House) before the game - in the snooker room it was full of Wednesday fans and the Utd fans spent most of the time grumbling that we shouldn't be in there but no one did anything about it. I spent most of the time crapping myself if I'm honest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he did, maybe you've just erazed it from your memory, or maybe its just a myth. OK Back in 1966 The porkers came onto the Kop Stood at the very top (as usual) and threw some eggs. What they dont say, is that as those on the kop that day were mates who supported different clubs,they managed to egg their own as well!!! So Sam Did your lot EVER make any attempt to take the middle??? Man U., Leeds Everton,Man city all tried to, but your claim to fame is you threw some eggs Some of which hit your own supporters. As one of our much missed lads would say ....... You couldnt make it up with that lot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As one of our much missed lads would say ....... You couldnt make it up with that lot What you can’t make up is the fact that the vast majority on here claim the Blades have never been on the kop. According to most of you, the ‘Pigs’ (I have to smile at that one) are a set of wobblers who run a mile when Wednesday are about. Well over 100 replies to this thread and you’ve all played your part and told your little tales about the routing of the pigs. You can’t be the only one on here who remembers egg day, but even when you do, you try to twist it, by saying Blades egged their own fans, why would they do that? If the Blades, as you suggest were up at the very top of the kop, the only way they could have hit their own is if other Blades were stood in the (Invincible) middle, and even the likes of Man U, Everton, Man C, Leeds, ect have never been there. If the Blades were so poo poo, then why didn’t you go up to the back of the kop and shift them, they were only armed with eggs ffs, not Sub-machine guns. According to some of the posts, you managed to shift Millwall, Middlesboro, Forest and even the mighty Wrexham, but not Blades. Maybe you thought some of the eggs were hard-boiled? Now that would have been scary. Is the humiliation of the greatest wee wee-take ever, too much to take? Best thing to do, is pretend that it never happened, erase it from your memories, and you’ll sleep easy tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

owls maniac Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 I think Wembley 1993 was the biggest wee wee take ever. I mean, getting totally out played by your biggest rivals in a cup semi final. How embarrassing. Still, you've always got your 'egg day' to cling to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
