Still holds the record for consecutive clean sheets for the Blades, with eight. Was released when Chris Wilder joined the Blades, and went onto play for Bolton and Blackpool. Faced the Blades earlier this season for his current club, National League promotion-chasers Wrexham Photo: OLI SCARFF
2. Ryan Flynn
The former Liverpool trainee joined United from Falkirk in his native Scotland and was a key member of the side that reached the FA Cup semi-final in 2014. After leaving United he went to Oldham before returning north of the border and joining St. Mirren Photo: GLYN KIRK
3. Chris Basham
The only player from either game still to be at United, Basham survived the Wilder cull and thrived in the right centre-half position. Has become a real fan favourite at Bramall Lane and signed a new deal last season that will take him to a well-deserved United testimonial Photo: OLI SCARFF
4. Jay McEveley

Was released by Wilder and dropped down the levels before being appointed as head of academy coaching at Cymru North club Prestatyn Town in 2020 Photo: Laurence Griffiths
