I'll give you four from Wilder's first season in 2016-17.

Harry Chapman
Reece Brown
Joe Riley
Jordan Hallam

Harry Chapman was a good player until his injury.

 

[PeterNdlovu081]

Harry Chapman was a good player until his injury.

He was.

He's still the third most recent player to score a hat-trick for the Blades.

 

[bladestrivia]

1 Davidson 2 Powell 3 Nicolson. 4 Blount. 5 Moores 6 Wimloa. 7 Hall. 8 Williams. 9 Bennett 10 Cullen 11 Bousatar. Pretty sure these all made at least 1 appearance for the Blades number 9 is Beckett not Bennett

Phil Barnes too

[Silent Blade]

Sagi Burton

Unused sub in the 1-1 draw at Stockport

 

[billyblademan]

He was.

He's still the third most recent player to score a hat-trick for the Blades.

Ooh that's a good one then. Did Billy do it one Christmas game in the promotion season under Wilder? Maybe against Wigan?

Oh, and Leon against Hull for the other.

 

[moody1889]

Li Tie only played a few games for us in the Premier league.

Hai Haidong Chinese lad that came here pretty sure he only played one game and was to do with the Chengdu Blades.

 

[sheff_blade90]

Few mentioned Fabien Brandy. he was decent when he was on the pitch. but he wasnt long enough. i feel i like i remember him being sent off. comes back off the bench after 3 games off & gets sent off again within 10 minutes

 

[Classof85]

Which players have played for us, and have gone on to have the most unremarkable careers?

Just one rule

1. Must have played at least 1 senior game for us since 1988 AD (Anno Deano)

I'm hoping we can populate this list entirely with people I've never heard of.


I'll start us off with Chris Bettney. Played one game in 1996, and had a career so unremarkable that his mid career stats are unknown

Known Chris a long long time and theres a sad story about how he threw his talent away

To be fair, its all relative, there's lots on here that would have been delighted to have been paid to play football for a career at any level.

 

[ShorehamRevolution]

No one who has watched the blades in the last 15 years would call Calve obscure

I must’ve been at the bar when that one went in !

 

[foggy72]

Barry Hayes - really didn't like it up north and ended up getting sold almost as soon as we had bought him.

 

[SouthStandGBlock]

Chris Hussey.

He was tripe

 

[SouthStandGBlock]

My thoughts immediately went to Peter Hetherston, who hit the crossbar a freakish number of times but never scored

 

[COME BACK CHED]

Jonas Wimloay sold to Malmo Oliver Tebiley sold to Celtic

Now he was hard , Dropped the bighead John Fashanhu like a bag of sh*t . Lane end corner , if my memory serves me right .

 

[bladesmanluke]

Lescinel Jean-Francois. Apparently he thought we were proper weird singing "voulez vous coucher avec moi, Francois?"

 

[Bell4]

I rate him as the worst player I have ever seen play for the Blades. My abiding memory is of Bury stuffing us at Gigg Lane in the League Cup towards the end of Bassett’s reign & Blount being the standout in a truly woeful Blades performance. He was absolutely toilet.

Agree

 

[Gin&Juice]

Stuart Wilson. Anyone remember him? I don’t, played 6 times on loan from Leicester in 2000. There’s no pictures of him online playing for us.

 

[brownblade]

Jean Calve
Auturo Lupoli
Elian Parrino
Panagiotis Retsos
Dean Sturridge
Benoit Croissant
Manuel Thetis

Dean Sturridge had a pretty good career!

 

[Gin&Juice]

Dean Sturridge had a pretty good career!

Remember the game he played, looked shit hot in the first half. Cant remember who it was against. We lost. Never saw him again.

 

[Nedski]

Stuart Wilson. Anyone remember him? I don’t, played 6 times on loan from Leicester in 2000. There’s no pictures of him online playing for us.

He came on as sub away at Fulham. Small skinny lad, didn't look much like a footballer. We were comprehensively beaten that day and it was pretty miserable.

I only remember him because I'd been on a pre match boat trip up the Thames which was hosted by Bob Booker!

 

[Carlton Blade]

Laurens Ten Heuval
Michael Vonk
Axel Smeets
Jon Cullen

Missed a last minute chance which was easier to score! I've got a feeling it was against Wolves? Friday night on Sky?
