This is a very short video detailing 15 players the club have been linked with over the years, some more amazing than others.

Who else should make this list? Did I include all the 'big names'? I've also set a thinker about salary caps. Let me know your thoughts.

Can you list the names as I don't have time to watch.

Thank you! It was before my time but I remember being told about it. Brown was completely useless wasn't he?

I know we were linked with Frank Worthington around that time too but then wasn't everyone?
 
I remember going to fetch the sunday papers once and flipped over to the back page only see Sheffield United to sign Paul Gasgoine ! , Anybody else remember this or have i dreamt it :rolleyes:
 
Was it ever officially confirmed that the fax machine did break? That’s taken on legendary rumour status.
 
I remember I made up a rumour on Blades Mad saying we were signing Jimmy Floyd Hasslebank.

I must of been around 13/14 at the time, was on sky sports news and at the time, thought it was amazing 😂
 

I was told by a good source at the time that we had a deal agreed in principle to sign both Ian Wright and Mark Bright for a combined total of around £60,000 but the board refused to sanction it . :confused:

In 2006, Didier Drogba was winning the premier league with Chelsea :)

I wish you hadn't pointed this out, it literally says 2002 on my script and for some reason I said 2006 and didn't notice. This will haunt me.

Who told you you look like Ribery by the way? Do they hate you or summat? I'd have spat on them and sent them the clean up bill.

Happened at a match. I've had all sorts at games mate, bloke came up to me in the pub last season and decided to share how ugly he found me and asked why I dye my beard. Never seen him before in my life. I find the Ribery comment funny. I can see it to be fair!

Jesus. I'd have thrown a pint in that man's face and made him get a me a fresh. You just cannot talk to people like that 😂😂
 
Louis Donowa, the season Bassett had just got us promoted to the top flight.

We were heavily linked with Darius Lakatus in the papers one Premier League summer and also Jan Eriksson when one of the major tournaments were on.

Sheffield United drop bid for Kyle Hutton & John Fleck

Rangers' John Fleck and Kyle Hutton could be farmed out to Scottish First Division clubs after a switch to Sheffield United falls through.
www.bbc.co.uk

These were the failed deadline day deals that started it off. Club said problems with paperwork. As the fax was the key means by which the FA received documents at the time the tale of the broken fax machine was first muted by supporters as the reason for administrative error.

Subsequent deadline day failings with the Devante Cole saga and Donna the secretary having a large pile on her desk at 11 pm have only added to the SUFC fax machine folklore. It's now a club tradition that we mess up on the final day of the transfer window. Last year it was the winger who couldn't play for us because we hadn't read the rules properly. I await with trepidation what Mr Schieber and co have in store for us this year :(.
 
When McDonald decided to look good by pretending to try and sign Gazza and Nicky Barmby.
 

And how can we forget the £3m man. Another one of McDonald's promised signings. He'll be with us any day now...
