Dennis Tueart - 50 Years A Blue

one of my childhood heroes (as you may guess from my name). couldn’t believe it in the 90’s when I was a stationery rep. i called on this company in Lymm and he answered the door. I ended up selling him his desk chair and getting his stationery orders for quite sometime. . Think it was an events company. I was a bit awestruck to be honest
 
Thanks for this, Vienna - I didn't know it was 50 years today. I was - and still am - a massive fan of that '70's team - mid to late '70's especially and Denis was a bit part of that alongside Asa, Dave Watson, Joe in goal, Kiddo and Royle up front and, a little later, Peter Barnes and Gary Owen - very entertaining team. I remember loads of times Denis getting the ball on the wing, either crossing the ball or cutting to have a go himself - he's one of those players that you'd pay the entrance fee just to see him...............great days and only one The League Cup but we were constantly challenging for the title in the later '70's.....................

Met him on a Junior Blues tour, I stayed behind to talk to him while the guided party went elsewhere.

In the days before mobiles I held the LC with him in the boardroom.

Gutted isn't the word when he left us, IIRC his last game was a third replay at the swamp v Luton also in the LC, which I watched from the Stretford End.

So did I and had a piss on the back wall.
 
Great picture of him at the Cosmos, not sure who the other dude is in the picture ;)

Dennis turned up at a Salford junior blues meeting up at langworthy road, remember him wearing a red and black hooped jumper, Dennis the menace.

As well as Mr Pele, the 11 is Cubillas who scored that great goal for Peru against Scotland in the World Cup. I gave it a huge shout…….then I remembered I was in a pub on Mull.

Some team they got together in that period.
 
In his book, before he left for cosmos he had been injured and didnt immediately get back in the team so he had a strop. He went as far as meeting united with the possibility of playing for them.

Cant think of him the same way after reading that. Other instances that it was all about him kept cropping up

In an interview he did it went quite a bit further where terms were virtually agreed for him to join the rags but he backed out. Would have been shit to have seen him playing for them
