Woodstock Road just round the corner from Loxley Primary school where I was a pupil. It was Some time Around 1989 to when we left Sheffield for Edinburgh in June 1992. Also Martin Hodge used to frequent Wisewood shops just up the road too. Hodgy lived on Aldene Ave just next to Wadsley Common. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

33 Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Consummate professional The queues for photos were mind boggling, must've been virtually every one of the 260 audience and Roland greeted every single individual as though they were his favourite person in the world. Took time to chat to everybody that spoke to him. Wouldn't be drawn on whether he would be interested in the job as respect to the Swedish FA He would tho... 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

33 Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 He looks amazing. I'd deffo have him as a player never mind manager. One couldn't help but be astounded just how classy this guy is. Not a wrong word all evening and when we left at near 1130 PM he was still doing photos. What a thoroughly nice guy. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supersiggi Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 I went to this tonight. Highlights - Man Utd wanted him on loan but he preferred to come here as Ron offered him 3 1/2 years - factor on him leaving was he didn't see eye to eye with Trev (as well as personal stuff) - didn't come back here when he returned to England as had a meeting with Pleat and thought he didn't rate him. - Paul Walker was MC and was a nòb. Ex radio sheff one not him in car racing films. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Night-Owl Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 A pure classy player and person. Our best ever right back and best ever foreign player. A born winner. His top level world class pedigree is up there with the likes of Chris Waddle and Ron Springett. I'd preferably go for a experienced proven Championship manager but I would love to see what someone like Roland Nilsson could do. He's one of our biggest modern legends, his record as a player speaks for itself, he'd be someone to respect and inspire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've rarely ever had a genuine top class world class player with a similar top pedigree. In the modern era, only Waddle can eclipse Nilsson for stature and pedigree. You have to go back to the 60s and the days of Springett to find players of that kind of genuine calibre, stature and pedigree. It's worth a gamble. Maybe if we were more stable but the likes of Lampard have looked like inspirational appointments. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players coming back as managers rarely work - too much baggge etc. Lampard had no connection with Derby and has proved inspired - but it’s the exception rather than the rule.
