Saw him playing at under 9 with Middlewood Rovers. Scoring goals for fun even then
Different gravy

An actual legend.

Always a pity Robson and Blackwell had him in his early years, but he still managed to achieve so much in his 30s for us.

Came in under Adkin’s in that shite season as very to get some credit - bagging 21 goals.

It’ll be a long time until we get another like him.

He did what we all dreamed of doing, and he was fantastic at doing it. One of the best players I’ve ever seen playing for us.

Top player and all round top fella. Would love to see him back at the Lane in some capacity. Good luck Billy

Was reading this the other day. Top man.

Lived the dream with us and the nightmare in this situation. Everyone was so impressed more by this one moment then the record breaking goals tally and rightly so. A brilliant tribute to his lad.

Pound for pound best in my lifetime

Enjoy retirement! One thing I always say about Sharp is during that Covid season he was just hitting his stride in the premier league when it all got shut down and I think he would’ve gone on to get double figures that season.

He’s been let down by this club several times, flogged at an early age, flogged again and made to feel not good enough by the management, brought back and then not getting a contract in what from the outside looked quite sneaky and cruel way to end his career at United. He had to watch McGoldrick and Robinson lead us out to Bournemouth in the first prem game which would’ve been a kick in teeth (he had last laugh that day) and he had to watch Jebbison walk out at Wembley v city which would’ve been an absolute gut punch but he always got on with things.

Best performance that springs to mind was Villa away hattrick, where he was superb and that was classic Billy Sharp.

For some reason I don’t think this is the last chapter of Sharp + United though as if wilder ever got sacked you know he’d get a mention

My favourite ever player. Embodied everything about us that makes us Blades. I fucking love our Billy. Enjoy your retirement Bill!
