Blades Roll Call

This page is a roll call of players who have graced the red and white shirt since 1946. As time passes I hope to update this with further details and also going further back in time. Whilst some are already available I hope to add a profile of each player, including where possible photo's. I would be delighted to hear from any fans (or ex-players) who have any of the missing info or photo's. email me.

Player's Names - Listed in alphabetical order, firstly by surname and then by christian name. Players who have had more than one spell at the club have their details shown separately for each spell at the club. (AM) after the name denotes an Amateur player, (N/C) denotes a Non-Contract player.

Position - G -Goalkeeper, FB - Full Back, CD - Central Defender, D - Defender, M - Midfield, F - Forward, W - Winger. I have also used original playing positions for players of the sixties i.e. WH - Wing Half, CH - Centre Half, IF -Inside Forward, CF - Centre Forward.

Seasons - e.g. 97-98 denotes the player appeared during the 1997 - 1998 season. 94 - 97 denotes appearances made between the 1994-95 season and the 1996-97 season (inclusive).

Source - Shows previous club ( I have ignored non-league clubs where a player spent a brief spell and then returned to a league club the same or following season ). Other sources include Jnrs - Junior players signed without serving an apprenticeship or Youth Trainee course. App. - Apprentice, YT - Youth Trainee.

Transferred to - shows club transferred to when leaving.

Further profiles are available for some of the players below - simply click on the highlighted names.
