Sheffield United: Head to Head reveals for the first time how the Blades have fared against every club they've ever played, in any competition, since the club entered the Football League. From Accrington to York City, United's complete record of matches against each club is looked at in detail and illustrated with pictures. Also included is a table of players who've played for both clubs and a 'fact file' highlighting the most surprising nuggets to be gleaned from this fresh way of interpreting the club's statistics. Did you know that in September 1998 two Blades players scored a hat-trick in the same game for the only time since World War Two when Brian Deane and Tony Agana put three each past Chester City? Or that United's highest-ever scoring draw is 5-5 against Leicester in 1951?Within these pages you will discover that the biggest-ever attendance at Bramall Lane came in 1936 when 68,287 crammed in to watch Blades beat Leeds 3-1 in an FA Cup match; that Brian Deane scored the first-ever goal in the newly inaugurated Premiership after five minutes against Manchester United in August 1992; and that the Blades last reached double figures in a match when they beat Burnley 10-0 in 1929. All these facts and figures, along with countless others, are easily accessible in Sheffield United: Head to Head, which deserves a place on any fan's bookshelf. This new addition to Breedon's well-respected stable of football statistics books has been meticulously researched and compiled. Comprehensive enough for the die-hard statto, yet readable enough for the armchair fan, it is sure to appeal to everyone with an interest in the history of this great Yorkshire club.… (more)
