Some of the players who turned out for the Blades that day have gone onto management and personal training, while one tours clubs speaking about his drugs past and another is available to hire via a ‘talent booking’ website.
Here’s what happened to the Blades’ class of 2001 from that game...
17. Neil Warnock
Warnock was appointed as manager of his boyhood club in December 1999. He guided the Blades to the semi-finals of the FA and League cups in 2003 and the Division One play-off final, and won promotion to the Premier League in 2006. He left a year later after relegation with a 42.53 win percentage, having won 165 of his 388 games. Photo: Ian Walton
