Gary Cahill last season, Ritchie De Laet this season. When was the last time former blades won top flight medals two years in a row?
 
I don't know if it's ever happened before.

There may be others, but in addition to the two above I can think of these players who played for United and afterwards for a team in its title winning season:

Rab Howell: Liverpool 1901
Jimmy Dunne: Arsenal 1934 and 1935
Alex Forbes: Arsenal 1948 and 1953
Mick Jones: Leeds 1969 and 1974
Terry Curran: Everton 1985
Imre Varadi: Leeds United 1992
Tony Agana: Leeds United 1992
Scott Marshall: Arsenal 1998

In pre PL days you had to play a third of the games to get a medal. Only Dunne (1934 only) Forbes (1953 only) and Jones (Both times) did this.

Marshall was on loan to us, of course. Agana was on loan at Leeds from Notts County after we'd sold him earlier in the season. Bobby Davision also played for Leeds that year, but finished the season with us.

Any others?

Nathan Dyer also got a medal yesterday. I didn't rate him at the Lane, shows what I know! Next season hopefully Kyle Walker will make it three in a row.
