Evening Blades, hope you're well.
West Ham fan here - but first things first, I come in peace
For a bit of fun I've got a Trivia question for any knowledgeable Utd fans of a certain age.
I was listening to a board meeting at my workplace this week (they stream them for all employees).
One of the execs gave a short intro about himself... During which time he revealed he used to play for Sheffield United!
Now I was doubtful of this. It felt a strange fit.
However... he was not just making this up.
A bit of Googling and Internet digging, I found out he did indeed play for the 1st team!
From what I can make out from limited sources, he never made a league appearance.
His appearances where completely restricted to your Anglo Italian Cup run of 1994.
I am familiar with this cup having attended matches at Upton Park with my Dad, during our own stint in that cup in the 90's.
So this has strangely turned me into a bit of an anorak about Sheff Utd's '94 Anglo Italian cup campaign, and I even know all about the Udinese match were you racked up quite a few red cards!
This all a bit out the blue, but I first of all wondered if anyone here wanted to have a guess at the player in question?
For all I know his family / friends might visit these boards. Or even the player himself - i've no idea if he's a fan of the club, or from Sheffield etc.
But if anyone does get this right, i'd love to know a bit about how he got on (obviously he wasn't good enough to cut it in your first team).
So once this player has been guessed by anyone on here I'd love to be informed a bit more about his short stint at the club!
As I say, he's hardly on Google at all, so this could be a very specialist Sheff Utd subject!!
Good luck for the remaining matches of the season.
