48 UTB BLAST FROM THE PAST Each week PAUL HOLLAND looks back on a prominent game from the past between the Blades and our opponents… BURNLEY 1-2 SHEFFIELD UNITED SATURDAY 12th APRIL 2008 United had started to make a late surge for a top six finish and recently recorded a dramatic 2-2 draw in the Steel City derby against Wednesday in the previous match. In this contest, the Blades scored a goal in each half to set themselves on their way for maximum points, whilst the hosts netted in the final 10 minutes to set up a nervy finish. United enjoyed the early possession in what was overall a scrappy encounter. Burnley ‘keeper Brian Jensen was kept busy and after nine minutes he kept out a James Beattie header, whilst at the other end Chris McCann’s 25-yard effort worked Paddy Kenny in the Blades’ goal. Kevin Blackwell’s side took the lead on 33 minutes through a ferocious Beattie free-kick with the striker netting from fully 35-yards. The hosts responded immediately, and Kyle Lafferty thought he had equalised, but Kenny somehow stuck his foot out on the line to prevent a certain goal. Burnley enjoyed much of the second half and created several opportunities at goal. On 50 minutes Robbie Blake struck from inside the box but Kenny was well placed to save. The Blades doubled their advantage eight minutes after the break when David Cotterill got the better of Stephen Jordan and his cross into the back post and was coolly headed home by Billy Sharp. On 75 minutes Lafferty’s left-footed effort flew over from distance as the hosts made a vain attempt to claw their way back into the game. With nine minutes remaining they netted to set up a tense finish as Joey Gudjonsson found veteran Andy Cole who slotted home past Kenny on the angle. SHEFFIELD UNITED vs BURNLEY

UTB 49 United and Bury both earned 1949 a point in a eight goal thriller at Bramall Lane. The draw extended United’s unbeaten run to six games thanks to goals from Harold Brook, Joe Shaw (2) and Fred Furniss. Just out of the Premier 1994 League, Dave Bassett’s United languished in 18th after 15 games, but this win over Bristol City sparked a major upturn in fortunes. Charlie Hartfield gave United the lead before Kevin Gage crashed in an unstoppable effort from 35 yards to make it 2-0. Carl Veart added a third in the second half as United began a run of four wins from five to take them within one point of the play-offs. ON THIS DAY UTB looks back into the archives to find out what happened on this day in United’s history… 2005 United maintained a three-point lead over Reading at the summit of the Championship after a hard-fought win over Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park. Steve Kabba provided an assist for Phil Jagielka to give United the lead before Michael Hughes equalised. Paul Ifill made it 2-1 before ex-Eagle Neil Shipperley headed in for 3-1. Dougie Freedman made it 2-3, and United were indebted to a goal-line clearance in the final minute to hang on to all three points. 1962 NOVEMBER 5 United made a mid-season trip to Tynecastle for a benefit match for Hearts striker Willie Bauld. A former team-mate of United’s boss John Harris, the Blades made the long journey despite having a Division One fixture at Arsenal five days later. The match ended 2-2 and United’s scorers were Dennis Shiels and Keith Kettleborough. SHEFFIELD UNITED vs BURNLEY
