Personalised Sheffield United Football Books

Enjoy a Newspaper History of the Blades

Sheffield United FC was founded in 1889. The club reached the top flight for the first time in 1893 and won the First Division title five years later. By 1925, the Blades had won the FA Cup four times. The fourth win occurred in 1925 against Cardiff City. This was the first time that United played a Cup final at Wembley Stadium. The decision to sell prolific forward Jimmy Dunne in 1933 proved to be disastrous. Sheffield United struggled to score goals and the team was relegated after thirty-seven years in the top flight. The Blades won promotion before the War, but fell down again in 1949. Sheffield United went on to win the Second Division Championship in 1953, having scored ninety-three goals in the season. The inconsistent form continued, however, and the club spent many seasons moving between the two leagues. In 1971-1972, United enjoyed a streak of twenty-two matches unbeaten. The Blades reached the First Division during this run of results and they stayed in the highest division for five years. Sheffield United also enjoyed a notable period in the top flight during the 1990s, including two seasons in the newly formed Premier League.

Fantastic 60th birthday present for a man We purchased this Chelsea football book for our friend who was turning 60, and we had no idea what to get him. We chose this item because he has been a football fan for years, plus we are able to add his name together with an inscription inside for a small fee. We ordered and paid for it, a short while later I received an email to tell me that the order had gone through and the item would be despatched soon. It arrived within the week, which was excellent. The item was 'tracked' so hopefully no danger of it getting lost in the post. A truly excellent experience and will certainly use this company again. 08 May 2013

Best purchase My husband was given a Newcastle United football book for his 70th birthday last year by friends. He was delighted with it as he was brought up in Newcastle and has been an avid fan although he left the area as a youth to join the Army. His younger brother who also supports Newcastle has also moved away but is still a supporter. He is 70 on June 1st so we had the book sent to his son in Grimsby where they all live now. he will wrap and present it on the day. WE are away on a cruise at the time so we are unable to attend the celebrations. We will see the photos. I hope this review is helpful. 05 May 2013
