FA Cup semi-final against Arsenal and play-off clash at Nottingham Forest: 17 Sheffield United fan photos from 2003

So near and yet so far.

It may have been a season of what could have been for Neil Warnock’s side, but it will be forever remembered by United fans . . . and no one will ever forget the epic play-off semi-final win over Nottingham Forest that year.

Here we take another trip down memory lane to bring you 17 fan photos. Can you spot yourself or anyone you know in our photo gallery?
