Some very good years under 'Arry. 'Appeh days. Some awful performances as well. Some rough displays.Interesting OP but I don’t agree that Bassett’s team wasn’t a “great” Blades team.
They rose from the 3rd Division to 9th in the 1st Division.
Stayed up for four seasons. FA Cup Semi-Finalists and Quarter-Finalists.
Scored loads of goals playing an “on the front foot” attacking brand of football.
Beat most of the top teams of the day. Some several times.
Built from a combination of home-grown talent and astute, value for money signings.
No real big money signings. About £700K being the highest.
They might now only be the third best team in United’s recent history but they don’t deserve to be ignored.
They seemed to be the crazy gang mk2. Never compared them with Harris/Furphy like I am now, along with a few others by the look of it.
