More info on the Sheffield United Newspaper Book

Sheffield United FC was formed in 1889 at the Adelphi Hotel (which gave way to create the Crucible Theatre) and like several football clubs was formed to keep their cricket team fit during the winter months. Sheffield United has had several heydays where the club and fans have flourished; the most notable period was from the thirty years from 1895 until 1925 when Sheffield were ‘Champions of England;.’ runners-up and FA Cup winners four times. Our commemorative Sheffield United FC history book captures these distant years in to make an involving Sheffield United gift idea.

The Blades emblem is thought to have been designed by the former player Jimmy Hagan and replaced the previous bade of the city’s coat of arms in the 1977-78 season. Bramwell Lane is brought to life with great sporting reportage and evocative press photography. A supreme guide to the glory of Sheffield United and great players like Jimmy Dunne Joe Shaw, and Tony Currie sparkles with victories such as the FA Cup victory in 1925 against Cardiff (our Sheffield United history gives three pages to this victory) all the way to the new century and FA Cup ties and promotion playoffs. A wonderful and fun way of recording Sheffield United’s history and providing a notable Sheffield United souvenir.

The 1950s coverage provides goals and incidents galore! Ten goals were not unusual and nor was victory over local rivals as our Sheffield United book records a 7:3 victory over Wednesday in 1951, a 5:5 draw with Leicester, and a 5:3 victory over West Ham. Into the 1960s and a clutch of victories over the ‘big guns’ like Liverpool, Spurs, and a 4:0 drubbing of Arsenal; an exciting Sheffield Utd gift bringing back memories for the true fan.

It’s not just the games that get coverage but also the behind the scenes stories and signings of some very famous names like Vinny Jones in September 1990 from Leeds for the rather grand sum of £750,000. The signing of famous managers are also covered including Howard Kendall in 1995 and some very unusual incidents are also reported like the 2002 game against West Bromwich when the game was abandoned as United were reduced to six players.
