Players with the Shortest United Playing Career

[Highbury_Blade]

Who is the player that has had the shortest amount of game time at United? I'm talking of players that have tasted first team competitive action, not players that have been named in the squad and not played, or players that have only played in friendlies. So preferably we're looking for a player that was thrust into action on 91 minutes in order to run the clock down and never played again.

Over to you folks. I'll start you off with an easy one to beat. Lee Baxter, 45 mins.

John Ebbrell lasted for fewer than 45 minutes.

League Cup

Hartlepool 2-0 Sheffield United

Kingsley James started the match but was replaced by Jamie Ward in the 66th minute.

He never played for us ever again.

 

[Ade Nough]

How many games did Pedro Verdi play ?

 

[SE1Blade]

Brian Launders. I think he played 11 minutes at Crewe as a sub. Manager got sacked (or left) and never played again.

 

[Jonboy]

Dries Boussatta, subbed on was shit subbed off, 10 mins at most

I win.

If I recall correctly, we lost at home in the cup when he played. Attempted a back heel and fell over.

Still, I've bought worse shite for a quid...

[wesleysnipesmen]

Can we count current players? I'm sure the only time Graham Kelly's had was as a late sub at Cov?
