Sheff Utd Obscure XI

[Gin&Juice]

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

Just googled it like a sad act. It was a 3-0 home defeat to Palace. Got subbed in the 53rd minute.

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.

I thought Jon Cofie was that bloke in The Green Mile?

 

[Lama]

Made 1 appearance for the blades against Hull in the FA cup, before dropping into non-league.

His career didn’t follow the trajectory of the average academy drop out, and spent the rest of his career playing in Romania, with additional spells in Portugal and Japan.

An encyclopaedia of shite with some of these ‘players’

Anybody remember Arno Bertonga? In the squad !978/79 season apparently but no record of whether he actually played or not.

This thread has gone way off course and turned into players who were spectacularly shite for Sheffield United and didn't last long lol

Che Bunce had a proper nonsense career and somehow got 29 NZ Capps

Decent career with the Moody Blues tbf.

Step forward Geoff Horsfield - didn’t he cost £1m and never played for us? Seem to recollect there was a story behind this …

Muhamed Besic any other season , he would have been a first team regular , on loan from Everton , just what we needed covid season , probably a greedy agent stopped him signing.sempt a obsure situation to me . Way better than that Lundstrum cnut.​

That’s a bold statement.

Slightly unfair on Doane who suffered a career ending injury whilst playing for us

Jon Newby

I just saw 'known for his lightning pace' then saw the list of clubs and once again realised that pace doesn't mean a lot if you're a shit footballer...

We didnt have anyone with that name!

I'm glad you said that 'cos I have no memory of him either. He's on both worldfootball.net and wikipedia as being with us but I reckon he must have been somebody Haslam gave a trial to who never got on the pitch.

Yer was just a trial
