About this deal
His time at Ibrox would be brought to an abrupt end however when Souness decided to cut his losses and sell Sterland to Leeds United. Simon Treanor travelled to the lower reaches of the German league for this tale of domination. “It wasn’t a top-flight title, but Tennis Borussia Berlin won the Regionalliga Nordost (then the third tier of German football) with 92 points in 1998, 32 points clear of Dynamo Dresden on 60 – they were unbeaten all season and conceded only seven goals. Even after that, they had to enter a play-off to get promoted, which they won.” Can you help? Despite his brief stay, Sterland would get to sample the Old Firm rivalry as he was part of the Rangers side that lost to their arch-rivals in the 1989 Scottish Cup final. We bought the house, got the kids settled in school and I think it was a couple of months down the line he sold me.

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. However, there is also the alarming fact that the April semi-final takes place in mid-winter. This is due to the footage from the ‘real game’ actually being an FA Cup 3rd tie in January, 1995.” Sterland's career is distinctly in two parts: 10 successful years with Sheffield Wednesday and 4 equally successful years with Leeds United split by four months at Rangers. Sean Bean – gaining some vital experience for his next role in Anna Karenina – remembers the nightclub scene particularly fondly:Wilkinson needed warriors and he got one in Sterland, who took to the task at Leeds United with an emotional and a professional commitment. He revelled in the Elland Road atmosphere and played with the sense that every day was the best of his life. They were very difficult times for me and I just thought – that’s it I’m going to do something stupid." Mel Sterland It was a chance to play in Europe - that was one of the main things I went up to Rangers for but unfortunately I wasn’t there long enough to play in Europe.” We don’t get to see what the future has in store for Jimmy – even in the final itself – which is a bit of a shame, but his emphatic finish beyond a thoroughly unimposing Manchester United goalkeeper is appropriately straightforward for a film that whistles along quite nicely from solo playground goals to a happy Mel Sterland in just ninety minutes. The Owls were promoted to the Second Division a year later, but Sterland was still very much a fringe player, making just two league appearances. 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.
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. Sterland played three games in the new Premier League before suffering an ankle injury in the autumn of 1992. [4] Despite the Scottish Cup disappointment, Sterland was settling into life as a Rangers player and looking forward to defending the league title. When Saturday Comes (1996)". BFI.

Jimmy impresses club legend and coach Tony Currie – who makes admirably hard work of playing himself here – but the Blades’ manager “George McCabe” has to make the final call. The night before the biggest day of his life, Jimmy faces the humiliation of asking for a Coke at his best mate’s birthday party…and the complexities of being Jimmy Muir are duly laid bare:The football choreography is refreshingly unspectacular – there are no impractical flying volleys here – and that works to the film’s credit. Bean himself recognises the problems directors have always faced with trying to depict the game on the big screen:
I was in the process of buying a house, we were renting at the time and in the papers down south it said that I was up for sale so I went to see Graeme Souness and he told me that I wasn't for sale. New season, new journey. Subscribing to iFollow today means you'll get even more access to Sheffield Wednesday content, including:Now in football, I just don’t think there are enough characters in the game, I don’t know why though. If you ever said a wrong word to any of them you’d get a clip round the ear and you appreciated that. My early years at the club were a learning curve and I was the apprentice and you knew that.” The demise We are now down to the last three tables for the evening, which unfolds in the Charlton Suite at Hillsborough from 7:00pm. It was the quiet after the storm, and after monumental exertions some well-deserved peace, because Sterland left absolutely nothing on the pitch, and soon after, you realised they just don’t make footballers like Mel Sterland anymore.
