Memory Lane #010 | “Video Killed The Bladio Star” – SUFC on VHS with Paul Kemp & DeadBat, part one

Memory Lane #13 | "The World Cup of STRIKERS!" - Part Two

It’s World Cup season, sort of, so Memory Lane has decided to borrow the format and apply it to something far more important: Sheffield United players from history. Join Andrew Hague, David Beeden, Paul Kemp and Sam Parry as they each take charge of one section of the draw, defending their players on whatever grounds they choose: ability, stats, memories, cult status, vibes, or outright nonsense.

Memory Lane #12 | "The World Cup of...?" - Part One

Welcome to the World Cup of… what? You’ll have to listen to this Memory Lane special to find out. We’ve borrowed the World Cup format, and Sam’s spreadsheet has generated 48 Blades, sorted by position, then thrown them into a full tournament structure of groups, knockouts, arguments and inevitable injustice. Andrew, David, Paul and Sam each take charge of one section of the draw, defending their players on whatever grounds they choose: ability, stats, memories, cult status, vibes, nostalgia or outright nonsense. This is quick-fire remembering, World Cup-style. We aren’t simply pitting best against best. There are minnows, underdogs and, yes, a few actual dogs in the fight. Part One takes us from the live draw through to the Round of 32. Episode Two will take us all the way to the final.

Formline 2.26 – Season Review & Awards: the good, the bad and the xG

One final Formline before we disappear for a summer lie down. Sam, Riley and David review the season and answer listener questions before handing out the highly unofficial Pinch end-of-season awards — from best goal and biggest head loss to MVP and best win. Along the way we revisit a Goldilocks season that somehow contained a six-game losing start, a 20-game spell as one of the Championship’s best teams, and a 13th-place finish that somehow felt both completely wrong and just right.

Memory Lane #011 | “Video Killed The Bladio Star” – SUFC on VHS with Paul Kemp & DeadBat, part two

In Part Two of our look back at Sheffield United on VHS, we move into the 1990s. It’s a decade of survival acts, Wembley appearances, relegation heartbreak, and increasingly strange club videos. Joined again by Paul Kemp and DeadBat, we revisit the season reviews, Christmas cash-ins, Brian Dean specials, and the gradual shift from grainy VHS tapes to the Sky Sports era. Along the way there’s Martin Tyler nostalgia, Dave Bassett appreciation, and stories of Wembley in 1993.

Join Andrew, Paul and David to chat through grainy tapes, nostalgic highlights, and worn-out rewind buttons. This is the first of two parts. See you next week for part two.
