UTB 35 Fables & Folklore Blades historian JOHN GARRETT’S long-running inimitable account of following the Blades always provides a talking point as UTB again extends a platform for his popular article... T C is a Big Knit! There always seems to have been some sort of a mascot around in sport, doesn’t there? In fact, mascots appear in so many different places. The first time I heard about one around the Blades was of the time of the 1925 FA Cup Final. At some point during the run to Wembley, a stuffed Felix the Cat (a famous cartoon character that surfaced in the silent films in 1923) was adopted by the team and appeared on many photos around the time, clearly becoming a symbol of good luck for the boys. Dora Winter, daughter of the great Billy Cook who lifted the FA Cup twice for the Blades, remembered it being around when she was a child. Dora has a great claim to fame by the way, she was technically there when we beat Cardiff and also on the steps of the Town Hall in <strong>Sheffield</strong> when the team came back with the trophy for the civic reception as her mother was eight months pregnant with her at the time! Tenuous I know, but I wouldn’t argue with her as it’s a great story and she is a lovely lady! She seemed to think that another player, Tommy Sampy, may have also had possession of it at some point along with possibly the great Billy Gillespie. All I know is that, sadly, it’s never been seen for many years, and I have definitely never seen it in my time around the club - shame! R Blades mascot Tommy Wood Tommy Wood was possibly the forerunner of Captain Blade, but a lot thinner and also without a character outfit! Tommy was born in 1892, a stone’s throw from the ground and was regularly seen leading the singing at the front of the Kop and at big games, such as the 1936 FA Cup Final against Arsenal in his red and white striped suit with matching hat, rattle and ‘Play Up Blades’ rosette. You certainly wouldn’t have been able to miss him, he ran a newsagent near the ground as well, so it must have helped drum business up! SHEFFIELD UNITED <strong>vs</strong> MILLWALL
