SHEFFIELD'S most famous Blades' fan was back on the terraces – to cheer on a book about his beloved football club.
The tome, released yesterday, was written by film star Sean Bean and his two best mates.
"We're a football-mad threesome who talk football down the pub until the cows come home," said former Handsworth man Gary Armstrong, co-author of Sheffield United FC: The Biography.
Gary, a sports lecturer at Brunel University and John Garrett, United's Hall Of Fame official who co-wrote the book, have been friends with Sean Bean for years.
Sean wrote the foreword for the book – described as the first club social history book.
"This book is something to to pass down, like support of a club is passed from generation to generation," said Sean.
"I have so many emotions and memories associated with Sheffield United, encapsulating them all into two pages was extremely difficult."
The book, £29.99, is on sale at the Blades' Superstore and in Sheffield bookshops.
