Unluckiest team around

SHEFFIELD United are Britain's unluckiest football team, according to a fans' survey.

The Blades were considered the unluckiest team by 29 per cent of the 2,013 British supporters quizzed as part of the poll carried out by the National Lottery.

The poll came after United were relegated on goal difference on the final day of last season and West Ham survived despite the row over Carlos Tevez.

Manchester United hold premier position as Britain’s luckiest football club, according to the research.
