Following his journey of well over fifty years of following Sheffield United, Alan Allsop describes the rollercoaster ride of emotions that the Blades have put him through as a lifelong fan. From the days of Woodward and Currie, through all four divisions of the Football League and cumulating in promotion back to the Premier League under Chris Wilder. In between there has been a journey that has seen eight relegations, eight promotions, eight unsuccessful play-off competitions, six cup semi-finals, patches of brilliance and periods of mediocrity. There has been drama and controversy, joy and despair, the sublime and the ridiculous; promotions won by the narrowest of margins and relegations sealed by virtually the last kick of the game. Featuring commentary, humour and opinion the book will provide many memories for older fans and perhaps an insight for the younger ones into why the average Blades fan remains such a pessimist.
