The 31 best Sheffield United players since 2000, part one - according to our writer

During the hiatus in football caused by the coronavirus outbreak, we tasked one of our sportswriters to cast his mind back a couple of decades and choose his 30 best Sheffield United players since 2000.

With some difficulty, Danny Hall whittled down his list to 30 [and later discovered he’d actually chosen 31]. So here, in no particular order, are the first 10 players. We will reveal the second 10 on Thursday afternoon, and his final 11 picks on Friday.
