Relegations, redundancies... and Robins. Think Sheffield United are the worst Premier League team in history? Think again
“We spent all week working on our defensive shape and keeping things tight for the first 20 minutes at Old Trafford – thenscored inside 20 seconds, everything went out of the window,” says John Moncur, the former Swindon midfielder, now able to laugh at the memory.
“It used to wind me up,” says lifelong fan, Nick Judd. “People would say ‘we love watching you guys play, we also love playing you, because we’re pretty much guaranteed to win.’.” “They could have turned their backs on us but they stayed with us right to the end. I remember the penultimate game of the season against Blackburn, we were 1-0 up and going for it. The fans were so loud. We lost that game 3-1, but even though the situation had been hopeless for so long they were still determined to enjoy the season.”
“You always hoped to get into the Premier League and there was an amazing buzz around the club for the seasons we were there,” says Jarvis.
