Just gone 1-0 down to a Philogene goal at Ipswich after dominating the first 20 minutes.
Watching the game, I was reminded of my old buddy, Gil Reece, and googled his name to see what it said.
I'd played for St Patrick's in Grangetown, where Gilbert started, for a number of years both before and after having 2 years at Newport in their Welsh League side but without ever getting a first team call. Anyway, when Gilbert joined Newport as a part-timer (before his Sheff Utd move in 1965) and would pick me up on the A48 at Llanrumney twice-weekly to go training with the other part-time players.
Softly spoken, with a quick wit, he was a real gent who had over 200 appearances and 58 goals for United before returning to Cardiff to make 100 more with 23 goals for City between 1973-76. He also played 29 times for Wales scoring twice.
Alongside the Wiki entry is this cracking shirt Gilbert wore for Wales against Poland in Katowice in 1973:

Great. i want all other teams to lose all the time.
The Blades are a shambles here… How terrible must we had been to get relegated last season? :facepalm:
Me too , unfortunately they cant all lose.
Is football becoming even more popular . Ipswich looks jammed packed , they have just been relegated, haven't had the greatest start to this season .
3-0 Sheff Utd haven't had a great start to the season either, I particularly don't like them. Good call sacking Chris Wilder again.
the two Sheffield clubs are 23rd and 24th in the Championship - 9 games between them with just the one point
Hang on - 5th goal just gone in
The blades look very poor this evening.
Sheff U owners getting karma for sacking Wilder.
Not sure how this Selles fella keeps getting jobs. He could be looking for a new one next week.
Christ, I actually wanted Selles for the Cardiff job over BBM because I thought he'd done excellently at a Reading side on life support. Thank god I wasn't listened to.
Home to Charlton next, fail to win that and their start looks as bad, if not worse, than ours last season.
Wilder won’t be turning up at Wednesday that’s for sure Dorcus clearly doesn’t know football in Sheffield, not that he knows much about football in Cardiff either from what I read on here.
Stick to virtue signalling and politics Dorcus.
