Many managers and many, many players - good and bad - have come and gone over the years but the only real constant over the years of supporting Sheffield United is that things are rarely dull.
Fans of the present day have had their tough times too but have arguably never had it as good, with three of the past six seasons spent in the Premier League against some of the best sides and players in world football.
It wasn’t always so good, with following United in the 1980s and 1990s coming with its fair share of turbulent times. Today we look back at some moments that fans who were following the Blades in the 1980s and 1990s will be able to remember, and that some of the younger end won’t - from unexploded bombs and evangelists at Bramall Lane to iconic games, managers and players.
How many of these can you remember?

33. A proper programme
Blades fan Roy Ashton with one of his early programmes, in the days when they were proper programmes rather than the matchday magazines that are published today. In fairness to United their effort is still one of the best about but programmes were an integral part of the matchday experience back then | The Star

34. Porterfield jumps for joy
The context isn't quite clear but we're sure of one thing - you'd be unlikely to persuade Chris Wilder to do a similar photo nowadays. Porterfield was a left-field choice to be the Blades' new boss but he led them to the fourth division title at the first attempt and followed it up with another promotion back to Division Two before getting the boot | Sheffield Newspapers

35. Six of the best
It's difficult to imagine now but there was a time not so long ago when United were the equals of teams like Tottenham Hotspur, who were on the wrong end of a 6-0 Bramall Lane thrashing back in 1993. The clubs have taken wildly different paths in the years since, though | Sheffield Newspapers

36. The Blades put through their paces
During Bassett's time it was a regular occurrence to see United's players put through their paces on army assault courses to toughen them up, both mentally and physically. You imagine the insurance premiums might rise a little if anyone attempted the same with today's modern-day stars... | Sheffield Newspapers
