A book on the Blades packed with facts, stats, trivia, and legends
** **
Sheffield United FC enjoy a notable history—such names as Ernest Needham, Jimmy Hagan, and Alan Woodward have worn the famous red and white stripes hundreds of times, as have the mercurial Tony Currie and the infamous William "Fatty" Foulke, who walked off the field at a whim and once dumped a forward on his head in a muddy penalty area. These players and more are covered, along with priceless trivia—who can claim to have known the club was founded on the site of one of snooker's most hallowed venues and played the obscure winter sport of bandy? Or that Bramall Lane has hosted test match cricket? Also featured are a wide range of statistics, quotes, and biographies from the club's 110-year history.
