50 UTB WHO WOULD BE A MANAGER? Our regular contributor DAVE BURKINSHAW casts a glance over former United players who have tried their hand at management... David Holdsworth... David Holdsworth and his twin brother Dean began their league careers together at Watford. David, a central defender, made his league debut in 1988. He experienced a number of injury problems whilst at Vicarage Road, but he still made a great impression when he won England honours at both youth and U21 levels. As part of Howard Kendall’s squad rebuild aiming to win promotion to the Premier League, David joined the Blades in October 1996 for a reported fee of £500K. He was soon made captain and impressed as a reliable and strong defender who could organise his defensive team effectively. He played a key role in helping the Blades reach the final of the 1996-97 play-offs unfortunately losing 1-0 to Crystal Palace. As well as his defensive qualities, David was comfortable on the ball and dangerous at set pieces.

UTB 51 the field he was a great ambassador for the club. One of the most memorable moments he gave United fans was his last-minute equalising goal against Coventry City in the FA Cup quarter-final replay at the Lane during the 1997-98 season. The Blades went on to win the game after extra time and penalties. He did suffer from injury problems during the 1998-99 season but was still a key player and it was a blow when he was sold to Birmingham City in March 1999 for a reported £1.2 million. It was reported that David did not want to leave the Lane. With City he reached another play-off final at the end of the 1998-99 season, this time against his old club Watford. He was sent off as City lost out on penalties. He remained with Birmingham until the end of the 2001-02 season. He did have a short spell with Walsall on loan during 2002 where he was sent off twice. After leaving Birmingham, he had a very brief spell at Bolton Wanderers playing just one competitive game before signing for non-league Scarborough for the remainder of the 2002-03 season. David’s playing career continued in Scotland when he joined Gretna for the period 2003 to 2005. His managerial career also started here when he was appointed reserve team manager and then director of youth development. This latter role did not last long as he was sacked as part of a cost-cutting exercise. He then focused on running his soccer schools and working as a summariser for BBC Radio Sheffield. His first club management job came in May 2008 at Ilkeston Town of the Northern Premier League Premier Division. After an impressive start in December 2008, David was appointed manager of Conference National League club Mansfield Town. ▲ Managing against brother Dean for Mansfield Town against Newport County back in September 2010 Whilst with Mansfield he had the experience of managing against his twin brother Dean, in a league game against Newport County. He left the Stags by mutual consent in November 2010. In October of the following year, he was appointed manager of another Conference National League club, Lincoln City. He remained with the Imps until February 2013 where he again left by mutual consent with City struggling in the league. His next stop was non-league Goole in 2013-14 working with another ex-Blade, Curtis Woodhouse, as his assistant. When he left Goole in January 2014, Curtis took over as manager. His most recent foray in football management came between August 2018 and February 2022 where he was director of football at Carlisle United. We shall have to wait to see whether or not David’s managerial career continues in any other capacity. SHEFFIELD UNITED vs PRESTON NORTH END
