Message: I was so happy to read about Dave Powell, one of the greatest players I have ever seen to play for Sheffield United.

McDonald had blistering pace and he was away, ball at his feet bearing down on goal with just the keeper to beat. From out of nowhere Dave Powell who of course was quite thin and spindly chased him down and from behind at full pace managed to get his leg all the way around Mc Donald and play the ball first . |
