Check out these brilliant old photos of Sheffield United fans at Wembley ahead of Sunderland play-off final

Sheffield United supporters are dusting off their shirts, flags and fancy dress ahead of another trip down to the capital for what they hope will be a rare memorable day at Wembley. United are hoping to make history with a first play-off success in the modern era, and their first Wembley win for exactly 100 years.
