Keith Gillespie: Northern Ireland international challeges with England's Wayne Rooney.
The Northern Ireland international joined United August 2005 on a twelve month contract and has so far made four starts and nine appearances coming off the bench (he has also represented his Country three times whilst at Bramall Lane).

Having not yet scored for the Blades season he has done well fitting into the Right-Wing position which has mainly be held by Paul Ifill, despite this Gillespie was rewarded with a further 12 month extension.

"He's an absolute gem and deserves a new contract. I love him at the moment and he's not even in the team," boss Neil Warnock told www.sufc.co.uk.
