One of the best was the 1993 FA Cup quarter-final against moneybags Blackburn, which saw United progress on penalties and set up a semi-final clash with city rivals Wednesday.
But what happened to Dave Bassett’s boys from that game? Ahead of tonight’s meeting between the Blades and Rovers, we took a trip down memory lane…
Meanwhile, Morgan Gibbs-White has opened up on the difference his loan spell at Sheffield United has made to his career, admitting playing regular football has returned his “belief and confidence”.
“It’s benefitted me massively, coming here,” Gibbs-White admitted, ahead of tonight’s crunch Championship clash at home to Blackburn.
5. Dane Whitehouse
One-club man Whitehouse's United career spanned 13 years and he will be remembered as an accomplished winger who could also play at left-back. The Sheffield-born star scored 50 goals in 275 appearances for the Blades before he was forced to retire due to a serious knee injury sustained in a game against Port Vale.

Forward Littlejohn shot to prominence when he fired the Blades to a 1-0 win over Liverpool at Bramall Lane in September 1992 - one of 12 goals he scored in two spells with United. He returned for his second in 2001, and was last seen as a physio at Cardiff City Photo: Stuart Hastings (Staff)
7. Jamie Hoyland
The brother-in-law of a future Bramall Lane legend in Alan Kelly, Sheffield-born Hoyland followed in his father Tommy's footsteps when he signed for the Blades.

8. Charlie Hartfield
Once sent off against Manchester United for punching Eric Cantona, Hartfield was a boxer before turning professional with Arsenal.
