On an afternoon of bad tackles, headbutts and injuries, the game was abandoned with United down to SIX men – and went down in infamy. But what happened to the Blades players from the day? We took a look...
9. Michael Tonge
Tonge came through United's academy to some fanfare, and made his Premier League debut against Liverpool - a club he had previously been linked with. He feels like he was unwanted at Bramall Lane and left to join Stoke in 2008, later setting up the MT18 Michael Tonge Football Academy. Joined Huddersfield in late 2020 Photo: Gareth Copley
10. Laurent D'Jaffo
A French-born striker who later represented Benin at international level, D'Jaffo scored in a Sheffield derby win at Hillsborough and played for Aberdeen and Mansfield after leaving United. He later became a scout and recommended a young Didier Drogba to Neil Warnock. His club wanted £100,000, the move didn't happen and Drogba later moved to Chelsea for £24m Photo: DEAN ATKINS
11. Paul Peschisolido
Pesch will always have a special place in the hearts of United fans for his goal - and celebration - in the play-off semi-final win over Nottingham Forest in 2003. The Canadian made more than 100 appearances during two spells with United between 2001 and 2004 and later managed Burton Albion.

12. Wilko De Vogt
Described bizarrely in Neil Warnock's book as a reserve left back, De Vogt was in fact a goalkeeper - albeit one who had limited impact at Bramall Lane Photo: Paul Barker
