About this deal

Palmer was the creator of the opener, drawing a foul from Manchester City team-mate Sergio Gomez on the edge of the area to give himself sight of goal.

Fast forward to the present day and Sterland says he’s been impressed with the team assembled by his former Whites teammate and Steven Gerrard.

His surges down the right flank and deliveries into the box often created goals for his teammates and he was also known for his lengthy throw-ins. Sterland was a key player in Leeds United's title triumph of the 1991–92 season – the last of the First Division before the creation of the FA Premier League as the top division of English football – as he scored six goals in 31 league games. On he comes – and his first contribution is to go straight through what looks vaguely like Phil Neville. Betty had worked for Footprint Tools, she said, but was on strike at the time her husband Ted was dying of cancer. An energetic, dynamic right back, Mel's powerful shooting earned him the nickname ' Zico' – after the Brazilian star – and his attacking prowess saw him strike 49 goals for Sheffield Wednesday, many from set-pieces.

Instead, the indelible vision is of evil, low-trajectory crosses being thundered into the box with a precision you could track on a radar.BBC Radio Sheffield’s Rob Staton will be on hosting duty for the evening, which takes place in the Charlton Suite at Hillsborough from 7:00pm. Jones raced through midway through the second half and almost netted an excellent, more orthodox goal. This is the second of a series of four themed programmes made by Yorkshire Television that aired in 1987 about life on the Manor Estate of council housing in Sheffield, consisting of events on the Estate and interviews with, mostly unidentified, residents. Though women are getting more interested in it now, and they enjoy the matches just as much as we do, but it’s a man’s game for all that. You talk about Man United v Man City, Everton v Liverpool, Sheffield Wednesday v Sheffield United, you can forget that, nothing compares to Rangers v Celtic, the atmosphere was absolutely frightening.

Sterland played three games in the new Premier League before suffering an ankle injury in the autumn of 1992. If it’s not too infra dig to respond to one’s own question,” continues Michael, “I’ve just read about Josh Gray (also ex-Darlington, funnily enough). As already explained, the FA Cup Semi-Final should be played at a neutral venue and not at the home ground of Sheffield United – as in the film.Undoubtedly Sterland was one of the last old school footballers; playing the game with the spirit of a Sunday League grudge match against a rival pub, but as a supreme professional who always gave everything. England had started brightly by getting Anthony Gordon on the ball, with the Newcastle forward having a shot saved when he ran through, then almost setting up Gibbs-White with another run behind the Spanish defence. The Manor is a proud working class community and it was lovely to be part of that community for one evening.

He said: “On The Manor was filmed at a really challenging time for people on the Manor estate and it’s about living in poverty conditions…and feeling like the community has been let down by the Government.After the interval they found the net through Abel Ruiz’s header but he had strayed just offside when he met Gomez’s free-kick. However, he emerged as a regular player in 1980–81, when still only 19 years old, playing 22 league games and scoring once in the Second Division.
