Bassett’s Blades - The Sheffield United side that inspired a generation
Bassett’s Blades is the story of a Sheffield United side that inspired a generation. When Dave ‘Harry’ Bassett took over at Bramall Lane the Blades were bound for the third division but within two seasons they were back at the top table of English football, going on to pull off one of the greatest escape acts in top-flight history and scoring the first-ever Premier League goal.
It was an era of iconic players and unforgettable moments, decisive derby-day victories and seismic shocks. With the help of players, staff members and Bassett himself, authors Danny Hall and Nathan Hemmingham chart the adventures of Harry’s Heroes during one of the most memorable periods in the Blades’ long history.

Finished my copy last night, what a trip down memory lane back to being an 11 year old who went from liking football to absolutely loving it and the blades under Harry, even reminded me of things I'd forgotten. Great work guys
What a privilege to be part of Bassett�s Blades at the time & what a pleasure to be asked to contribute to this fantastic book. Brilliant to read the stories of team mates, friends & blades
