Sheffield United v Bury (1902)

[Blade1962]

Blades won 1:0 chap who scored was recorded as Hedley

[PhillydogMahon]

It's also a shame they did not mention that this is the season when Bury won the FA Cup with a record 6-0 score in the final beating Derby County. Furthermore they did not concede a goal all through the tournament.

109 years ago.. wow...and the quality of this film is awesome...

[MrXtremie]

Hey I can see Ferguson in the crow, probably scouting someone.

[RichyBMelodies]

Not that different from now, the crowd wore suits, now they wear track suits, the crowd wore flat caps, now they wear baseball caps.

Amazing to see how the crowd used to be.

[d3motube]

why is Kevin Pressman in goal for the Blades?

[DRokKster]

Who ate all the pies?

[dearmalika]

Great video and fantastic channel!

[lugwalder]

it will probably be as long as when this video footage was taken, to when I actually see United win a major trophy

[citizen773]

2:05 is that William Foulke?

[lugwalder]

@citizen773 yes it is

[wickets61]

the commentator (Adrian Childes) is patheitc, he doesn't mention it was FA cup,round 2 he criticises Bury but they went on to win the game 1-0 and won the final 6-0 , still a record score.

[nimpo46]

[gassj]

Preston v wolves

[Wacek4444]

thx for the brilliant vid, priceless

[bradleym1]

1 0 to the mighty shakers on their way to winning the FA cup 6-0, still a record today. We also did it without conceding a goal which is still a record. Up the Shakers!!!!

[NorthEndFan]

everyone watch the Preston v wolves video and look at the preston mascot. It would be illegal today under discrimination but its funny!

[PomegranateTree]

Fantastic stuff!

Up The Mighty Blades!

[Bladette85Zoe]

what a video :L

sheffield united <3

[MrKingpingu]

up the blades

[tmolet]

These are brilliant vids!

[DJAsh65]

Check the comments I put about the comparative crowds for the League game compared to the Cup game. The BBC didn't do their research thoroughly enough. This was the Cup game watched by 24000 I would think.

[SheffieldUtdFC]

thats a right good video when sufc were at their best, its a shame the commentator didnt say the final score

[DJAsh65]

The final score was Blades 0 Shakers 1.

[SheffieldUtdFC]

ok then, but how u kno that?

[Hirsute63]

He was there. With his grandkids...;O)

[SheffieldUtdFC]

ha ha lol!

[baberconnew]

My grandad played for Sheffield United in the early thirties, I have photo of Him from 1931, does anyone know of any footage of Sheffield United around that time?

[DJAsh65]

Correction : the crowd for this cup tie was 24,000..but my original point still applies.

Chiles' commentary is predictably annoying, trying to belittle Bury and glorify the Blades. True, Sheffield United were one of the leading teams in the country , finishing 4th. Bury finished 8th, only 4 points behind the Blades. And the Shakers won the Cup!

[DJAsh65]

This is more likely to have been filmed at the Sheffield United v Bury FA Cup 2nd Round game at Bramall Lane, which the Shakers won 1-0 on the way to winning the Cup by a record score in the Final.

Reasoning : the crowd for the league match was 7,000, whereas the FA Cup game attracted 21,000. This footage clearly shows Bramall Lane containing a much larger crowd than 7000.

[miClubAmerica]

simply awesome!

[JuniperCourt1]

I wonder if this is the footage of that legendary Shakers team which won the FA Cup by the highest score ever.

[Mollweidekadet]

Some of that team are clearly playing in this match, which I think is actually an F.A. Cup game. George Ross and Jack Plant are both seen here. Both great players of the day. Bury beat Derby 6-0 in the final that season (1902/03) and had previously won the same competition in 1899/1900 season, beating Southampton 4-0 in the final. Surely a better team than Chiles gives them credit for, or the hack writer of the local press at the time!

[VirgLondon]

excellent quality for the day, players definitely looked bulkier, particularly the goalie with the shorts pulled up the the belly button

[fordtippexagain]

I saw Hitler. He was a season ticket holder in the Bramall Lane End - According to a world famous youtube video!

[VirgLondon]

aye, he was just a nipper of 4 years then and seen in his flat cap puffing on an oily

[fordtippexagain]

Nearly. He would have be 12, just getting bumfluff on his top lip.
