I know you'll probably never see this but I feel I have to get a few thoughts down on paper.
As a Sheffield United fan, I always expect . I always assume because we are a 'big club' that one day we will play in the premiership and challenge for Europe like the best of them.
I am mostly always disappointed.
However, I do expect that when I pay my money I shall at least see some commitment from the men that pull on the shirt. I expect the players I am watching to feel some pride in the shirt they are wearing, I want them to win .
Bramall Lane has recently held a dinner for ex players who did that. They took us into the premiership, they were winners and they gave the fans pride in their team. They will forever be held in high esteem and will always be talked of in glowing terms, even though some of these players weren't world beaters. They were however a team and we were proud of them.
So, my reason for this posting?
You have the chance to go down as players who finally turned it round, who got us out of this league, who gave us our pride back, who 'United' the fans. You could be talked about as heroes and be welcomed back here in years to come . You could be the players who lead us out at Bramall Lane against our rivals from across the city and take part in that special occasion that is the local derby.
The alternative is not good, but I'm not dwelling on the negatives, I'd rather concentrate on the positives.
So, Saturday, pull on that shirt, be proud of the team and give our supporters something to shout about. Let's turn this round now and let us all be 'united'
