... at Colchester.

Um, the, the, the way you celebrated it is...

I was sat on the bench at the time.

Um, it was a great finish.

You played very well, and it was brilliant to see that you still had a smile on your face and you still loved the passion of scoring goals.

And, um, I, I wanted to finish on my own terms, and you do go through ups and downs in your career.

Give us your secrets, Bill.

family's-... passed and, uh, the football family rallied around you, Billy, didn't they?

Yeah, it was...

Uh, listen, it was overwhelming at the time and, um, like you've just said, it wasn't...

It was probably a lot of fans who disliked me, um, 'cause I've had that connection with the fans.

I've always said it, um, fans mean a lot to me, whether they're giving me abuse and don't like me or whether they're shouting my name.

I think without fans, football's nothing, and we saw that in, in COVID.

Um, they inspire me to, to score goals, um, whether they're against me or with me.

Yeah

But just in terms of where we are on the pitch, with the squad they have at the moment, and obviously with Chris Wilder in charge, should they be doing better than what they are at the moment?

Yeah, I think fans certainly think so.

They've lost last three games in all competitions.

And if they'd have won one of them league games, they would have been in the top half.

It wouldn't look so doom and gloom.

But I think with Sheffield United, they've changed formation three times this season.

So not only do you not know the start of the XI, you're not quite sure what formation they're going to line up with.

Can that beat you down a little bit as well at that club?
