BALL GAME
This year marks the 30th anniversary of
the inaugural Premier League season.
To mark this milestone, UTB delves
into our programme archive to reminisce
about United’s part in this historic
campaign, whilst also talking to those
who were there at the start of what
has since grown into the
most talked about domestic
competition on the planet.
As well as looking back on
United’s campaign, we tell the
full story of the 1992-93 season
and also test your knowledge
about how much you remember
three decades on. So, wind the
clock back 30 years to relive this
special season throughout each
edition of UTB.
This time though, we take a break from
the Premier League for a special FA Cup
feature.
SHEFFIELD UNITED vs TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR
In this edition, it’s back to the FA Cup
as United take another break from the
Premier League to focus on a quarterfinal
replay against Blackburn Rovers.
With the game at Ewood Park
finishing goalless, United then slipped
to defeat at home to Norwich City
in the Premier League before
welcoming Kenny Dalglish’s
Rovers to Bramall Lane.
United were just one place
and point above the relegation
zone, but the FA Cup was proving
to be a welcome distraction as
the Blades twice levelled after
being behind in this 2-2 draw after
extra time.
The match went to penalties
as Alan Kelly’s save from Jason
Wilcox proved crucial with the Blades
advancing to the semis after a 5-3 win in
the shootout.
