Yes, it has been documented elsewhere here.

And yes, he has been doing very well

A bit of another lost opportunity for us (despite the dislike here and his scapegoating, evidently)...just as he sparked, we sold him. Where would we be with that dozen goals right now?

.....and would you settle for another twelve goal half season from him right now? (no Ady Williams BBC Berks phone-in question btw)

Be quite happy if the whole team managed to muster 12 goals between them for the rest of the season in recent form :)

Always got a bit of a soft spot for him as was my sons favourite player when I first started taking him. Was very upset when he got sold!

103 appearances, 18 goals. One good half season. One of the "ego's " that BMac said we had to lose. Journeymann who has never really forged a decent career in the game. One of the most Meh players I've ever seen play for us :|

Amen. Had a run of about 20 good games in that 100 when he scored goals. Absolute strutting charlatan.

Was Sheffield Utd's best player when we played them in the cup game and I was very pleased when we signed him. Never worked out for him though, apart from the one purple patch. The purple patch did end in one of the best goals I have ever seen us score at Hull though :D

His one at Rotherham was better imo. Agree the Hull goal was a fantastic team move though.

I can't quite remember the one at Rotherham... was it a volley with a ball that came over his shoulder?

We sold him because he was out of contract at the end of the season, had shown no desire to sign a new one and Derby came in with an absolutely bonkers offer we'd have been mad to turn down.

I sometimes despair of Nobbers

Blackman was mostly a winger yet scored 22 goals for us in 5,823 minutes
which is a goal every 264.7 minutes, better than 1 in 3 games

His goals-or-assists in one every 216 minutes played

AND we made 2 million profit when we sold him.


What do you want, blood?

Yeah the "better believe he scored goals" chant was made out of complete irony because he looked completely pony. Then he actually started scoring, it was hilarious.

But he was just a massive tool, remember the look he gave after he scored a disgustingly scuffed goal away at Derby? He thinks he's fcuking Ronaldo the jumped up twat.
