Sheffield United and Bristol City have played over a centuary of professional fixtures together, however our first coming together was during 1904 in the FA Cup First Round on 6 February - goals from Priest, Johnson and Brown secured a 3-1 victory at their former St. John's Lane ground. The Blades had beaten holders Bury by the same scoreline in the second round but bowed out to eventual runners-up Bolton Wanderers (0-2) at Bramall Lane in the third. City entertered the Football League Division Two after been elected for the 1901-02 season along with Doncaster Rovers. The pair replaced Lancashire side New Brighton Tower who went bust and Walsall.
The Robins played their final home game in April '04 before moving to their present home Ashton Gate. This became the location of our first league together on Christmas Eve 1906. The two teams drew 3-3 with United scoring goals from Bromage and Bluff (2), the team that day was; Lievesly, Benson, Johnson, McGuire, B. Wilkinson, Needham, Lang, Bluff, Brown, Bromage, Croot. League battles together came a regular occurance up until 1911 when the Robins were relegated from top flight and it wouldn't be until after WWII in 1956 when the two locked horns again.
On 19 January 1957 City enflicted a 5-1 victory over the Blades at Ashton Gate and in September 1959 the Blades were on top in a 5-2 win at Bramall Lane in a season which saw Bristol City finish bottom of the Second Division. During the Second Division battles in 1970-71 season the first game at the Lane, much like our first ever league encounter was drawn 3-3 before a crowd of 15,097 - Alan Woodward, John Tudor and Bill Dearden scored second half goals after City had led half-time 0-1, John Gallery (2) and Gerry Gow were the scorers for City. The teams were; Sheffield United - Hodgkinson, Badger, Helmsley, Powell,Colquhoun, Salmons, Woodward, Barnwell (Tudor), Dearden, Currie, Reece. Bristol City - Gibson, Stacey, Drysdale, Wimshurst, Rooks, Parr, Skirton, Garland, Galley, Gow, Sharpe. Later in the season at Ashton Gate the Blades won 1-0 in front of 14,999 thanks to Tony Currie's first half strike.
Bristol City are one of the few clubs to have played in all four Divisions (United are one of those), however they have a unwanted record having been relegated from the First Division in 1980 and a poor turn of form saw them drop in successive seasons into Second (1981), Third (1982) and lastly Fourth (1982) - only Wolverhampton Wanderers (1984-86) have equalled this record (ed- though Portsmouth did have a good go at it!.
Sheffield United have enjoyed much success against Bristol City in recent years and our 3-0 defeat in November 2010 en route to relegation from the Championship remains our only defeat since 1998 which saw the Blades suffer a 2-0 loss in what was a dire game. Nick Henry was dismissed moments before the final whistle following two yellow cards, Mickey Bell (33 minutes) had given the hosts the lead from the penalty spot after Tony Thorpe had been tripped by Ian Hamilton and furture Blade Ade Akinbiyi (65) headed home from a corner in the second half before United were reduced to ten men.

David Noble came off Bristol City's sick list to add to the problems of Sheffield United boss Bryan Robson. In his first game of the season he scored one and helped set up the other, to send the relegated Premiership side crashing again. The Blades have now taken just one point from five away games, while City, up from League One, are fourth in the table. Apart from a dodgy spell early in the second half, the Robins were the better side, and when Michael McIndoe headed their second goal, with just under 20 minutes left, Noble, his work done, was taken off. He had been brought into the side to replace Lee Trundle, a £1million summer signing from Swansea City, who was dropped after scoring just two goals in ten games.
Noble's lack of match sharpness showed up at times but he was perfectly placed to score his goal right on half-time, from a throughball by Lee Johnson. It took a deflection before Chris Morgan tried a back header, which fell short. As defenders panicked, Noble was there with the final touch to steer the ball away from a desperate challenge. The goal was deserved, for City were by far the more enterprising with Bradley Orr as a raiding right-back pushing ball after ball down the channels. He almost got a goal too, when he went up for City's first corner in the 16th minute but his header was pushed on to the bar by United keeper Paddy Kenny.
The home goal had a rather similar escape in first-half stoppage time when Adriano Basso turned a drive from Alan Quinn against his right post. Sheffield United had so nearly gone ahead in the first minute with a rebound off home skipper Louis Carey, but with Lee Hendrie picking up a knock which saw him miss the second half, the build-up for their attack was patchy and James Beattie had few chances to add to the eight goals he has scored since moving from Everton in the summer.
There was always too much tension inside United's game although they came close to pulling it together midway through the second half. A fierce shot from David Carney was turned away by Basso for a corner, which brought a sharp but unlucky header from Chris Lucketti. But in the end the Blades deservedly lost as the pressure grows on beleaguered boss Robson.
26 April 2008 - Sheffield United 2 Bristol City 1
After two Gary Speed goals Sheffield United deservably are only two points off of a play-off place. Two penalties and a header was the goals which occured in the game. A Gary Speed brace cancelled out Michael Mcindoe's 1st half penalty. Speed levelled on twenty nine minutes and depitised the result on fifty five minutes and sent every Blade home delighted. On three minutes twenty two goalscorer James Beattie limped off with a hamstring injury and he is set to miss his return to St.Marys next Sunday for the final game. Rob Hulse came on and replaced the former Everton man.
It was Bristol who started brightly as Lee Trundle broke into the box with Kilgallon tight with him, Trundle went down in the area but referee Halseysaid he went down to easily. A scuffed shot from Tonge went into the feet of Adebola. The former Coventry man had Ehiogu breathing down his neck but trouble was around the corner as Ehiogu tugged the shirt of Adebola inside the eighteen yard area on twenty five minutes. In the process Ehiogu got an injury and got taken off and he was replaced by on loan Manchester United midfielder Lee Martin. Mcindoe stepped up to the spot and smashed it past Kenny down the centre of the goal in front of the Kop.
Michael Tonge's corner met the head of captain Gary Speed as he directed his header into the corner pass Basso. The captain scored his second goal in a red and white shirt. A scorcher of a shot by Stephen Quinn skimmed the crossbar of Adriano Basso's goal. It was half time as the Blades went in drawing 1:1 with the Robins after a rollercoaster ride of a 1st half. More worries occured for Blackwell after Martin picked up another injury in the seven minutes he played in the first half while Derek Geary replaced him on forty five minutes.
Hulse had a great opportunity on fifty minutes as he was on the edge of the area with the Bristol defender but he rushed his shot and blasted over the bar. On fifty five minutes Mcindoe who scored a penalty in the 1st half then conceded one as he handled inside the area according to the linesman. With James Beattie off injured it was Gary Speed who had to step up to the twelve yard spot. He thumped his penalty past Basso to the left hand side of the goal. Michael Tonge got an head injury midway through the 2nd half as he played the remainder of the game with a bandage on his forehead.
Bristol put the pressure on for the final quaters of the game after they had shot's trickled off the line, headed away, punched away, the lot! One of them was Lee Trundle's shot which trickled off the leg of Derek Geary and the ball only just rolled past the post. Four minutes of added time was held up by the fourth official Miller as the Blades went on the counter attack with Billy Sharp. He was one on one with Basso with a few defenders surrounding him. He laid the ball off to Quinn who jumped over the ball and the ball was met by Cotterill. Two reflex saves by Basso kept the scoreline down.
Referee Halsey blew his whistle as cheers and chants and most of all relief rung around Bramall Lane. Ecspecially when the result from the KC came through that Palace had lost. Blackwell's Blades will take the long travel down to Southamton only remaining two points off the play-offs.

Hot-shot James Beattie struck twice as promotion favourites Sheffield United held on to their top-six spot. The 30-year-old striker is now fully recovered from knee surgery and found the target seconds before the break, before killing off Bristol City on 69 minutes after Liam Fontaine had put through his own goal. The Sheffield side, looking for a hat-trick of wins after a barren spell, had struggled to break down Bristol's resolute defence, with Stephen Quinn and Billy Sharp trying their luck with long-range shots which flew over the target.
United almost found a way through in the 23rd minute when Beattie passed inside to Quinn, whose fierce strike from 16 yards was smothered by the diving Adriano Basso. Bristol were almost caught out when Gary Speed found space on the left flank, but his teasing cross dropped onto the roof of the net. The Ashton Gate side finally managed to penetrate the United defence in the 42nd minute as Dele Adebola picked out defender Louis Carey, but he fired over as he burst into the area.
Sharp linked neatly with David Cotterill whose low strike stopped by full-back Bradley Orr, before United broke the deadlock seconds before the break when Beattie met a Cotterill corner with the sweetest of volleys home from 12 yards. Basso pulled off an eye-catching stop diving to push away Beattie's stinging drive before United increased their lead in the 56th minute. Fontaine headed into his own net under pressure from Matt Kilgallon as he tried to keep out a Quinn free-kick.
Beattie added the third with a textbook header from a Cotterill cross, before helping his defence by clearing a Fontaine header off the line in the dying minutes.
28 October 2008 - Bristol City 0 Sheffield United 0
Controversial referee Rob Styles, demoted from Premier League action for three matches, found himself presiding over a shapeless match, which only came to life in the second half. Neither side showed up as the Championship high-fliers they are, but apart from the odd lecture Styles had a quiet time, with four bookings and waving aside a home claim for a penalty. Bristol's manager Gary Johnson had warned "Sheffield United don't look to pass the ball but to shove it down your throat" and their first-half power play was all about that.
James Beattie robbed City's keeper Adriano Basso with the ferocity packed into one shot which the Brazilian managed to parry for a corner. He was soon diving to field a Beattie free-kick hammered from 30 yards and then found luck on his side when the United striker burst past the back four to drive in another shot. Too many players had the wrong studs for a slippery autumn surface and the worst slip saw City exposed when their centre-back Jamie McCombe went sprawling.
Gavin Williams raced 20 yards to the rescue, thumping the ball out for another Blades corner. City's attack focused too much on Dele Adebola's physical battle with Ugo Ehiogu. It was always a no quarter given affair with the striker lacking the support to be a real threat. He should have scored with a header as Michael McIndoe lobbed to the far post, but sent it off target. With the game at last showing purpose after the break, Paddy Kenny, in Sheffield's goal, made a double save from Lee Johnson and Lee Trundle.
On the hour Adebola made way for Stern John, who has arrived on loan from Southampton. Almost at once his downward header was bundled in by McIndoe, but he was ruled offside. Basso made a great save to deflect a piledriver of a free-kick by Beattie as City kept their fourth clean sheet in a row.
28 November 2009 - Bristol City 2 Sheffield United 3
Darius Henderson fired a hat-trick to give Sheffield United their third away win which should work wonders for his manager's sleepless nights. Kevin Blackwell has admitted it's been hard to get a good night during an injury-hit bad run but they have now taken seven points from their last three games. Henderson scored his first two goals in three minutes around the half-hour. but held back the full drama until the sixth minute of added-on time.
Bristol City thought they had salvaged a draw seconds before when Costa Rican Alvaro Saborio scored after coming on as a late sub. United threw everything into a quick break from the restart and from the left of goal Henderson placed his shot accurately into the far bottom corner. For his first two strikes - he now has ten this season - he needed a little outside help as City slipped to their first home League defeat for almost a year. Referee Andy Hall overruled a linesman flagging for offside after the first goal. His second was set up by Bristol centre-back Jamie McCombe with a timid mis-kick which would have looked bad in a pub Sunday League.
The offside claim came after Dean Gerken in punching a ball away stumbled past United's Lee Williamson, before being beaten by Henderson's return with Williamson in an offside position. Energetic in their approach work, City were fading badly in the final quarter and United came under the biggest threat in the first half from two free-kicks given away by Andy Davies. But then when the lively Danny Haynes got past him, Davies tackled back strongly to snuff out the threat.
City got into the game early in the second half when striker Nicky Maynard was fouled 45 yards out on the left. Paul Hartley swung the kick towards the far post and his captain Louis Carey raced through from the back line to head past Carl Ikeme. The Sheffield keeper went on to make significant saves from Maynard and Haynes, but had little chance with the late equaliser as Saborio got on the end of one of many high balls pumped into his area.
13 February 2010 - Sheffield United 2 Bristol City 0
Henri Camara and Darius Henderson struck in a 12-minute spell to keep Sheffield United's faltering hopes of a top-six finish alive following a 2-0 win over Bristol City. The Bramall Lane side ended a miserable run of dour games without a win, while Gary Johnson's outfit are now in danger of being sucked into a relegation battle. Henderson, who snatched hat-trick when the clubs last met at Ashton Gate in November, was handed two chances earlier in the game.
Derek Geary engineered a chance for the big striker with a precise cross from the right which the unmarked Henderson duly headed high and wide of the target. The lively Ward was the provider on 19 minutes, this time Henderson out-jumped his marker to steer the ball over the top from eight yards. Arsenal teenager Kyle Bartley drilled in a right-foot strike which took a deflection off centre-back Liam Fontaine but Dean Gerken managed to block the shot. Minutes later, the Bristol keeper conjured up another spectacular stop after palming away Mark Yeates' fierce drive from a tight angle.
Gerken foiled United again as the Sheffield side as grabbed a stranglehold on the game. Camara was the first to react as Bristol struggled to clear but his snapshot from 10 yards blocked by the keeper. Bristol capitulated in the 49th minute when Bartley's probing ball down field found Camara. The ex-Wigan striker coolly took the ball in his stride before lashing it into the top corner of the net with Gerken helpless. Yeates saw his free-kick saved by Gerken and Ward drilled the ball over the top as United continued to overrun the fragile City rearguard without being able to kill off the game.
It was left to Henderson to relieve the pressure in the 61st minute when he stretching to meet a Ward cross and beat Louis Carey with a firm header at the near post. City went close late in the game when Carey met Paul Hartley's corner but his looping header from six yards hit the top of the bar and bounced away to safety.
27 November 2010 - Bristol City 3 Sheffield United 0
Two first-half penalties from Brett Pitman helped Bristol City record successive npower Championship victories for the first time this season as 10-man Sheffield United were beaten 3-0 at Ashton Gate. Pitman broke his duck with his first league goal for the Robins in the defeat of Leicester last weekend and he added two more to his account with spot-kicks after six and 34 minutes. United's day got worse when Richard Cresswell was sent off moments before half-time.
Their misery was compounded just after the hour mark when Jamie McAllister's corner flew straight over goalkeeper Steve Simonsen and into the net. Keith Millen's side were given the opportunity to take an early lead when Leon Britton brought down David Clarkson. Pitman seized the chance with a superbly-placed penalty into the top corner. United responded positively and Cresswell and Matt Lowton had efforts on goal but it was easy work for David James.
Albert Adomah threatened in the 30th minute before a handball by Stephen Jordan enabled City to extend their lead. Pitman obliged again from the spot. Simonsen kept the Blades in the game with a block to deny Clarkson and Cole Skuse shot over the crossbar. United's task became more difficult when Cresswell went charging in on Marvin Elliott. Referee Pat Miller did not hesitate in showing the striker a straight red card.
It took the hosts a while to press home their numerical advantage, with Adomah shooting just wide before the hour mark. Simonsen then saved from Pitman. However, the keeper then misjudged McAllister's inswinging corner and City had a three-goal lead. Clarkson sent a shot wide in the 79th minute before a block by Kyle Bartley denied Pitman the chance of a hat-trick.
Clarkson continued to try to get his name on the scoresheet but he was thwarted by Simonsen once again with two minutes remaining. Ched Evans came close to a consolation goal for United but his long-range effort struck the crossbar in the first minute of injury time. Steven Caulker had the final chance as he shot across goal in the dying moments.
23 April 2011 - Sheffield United 3 Bristol City 2
Sheffield United's teenage striker Jordan Slew slammed home a superb late winner to keep alive his side's faint hopes of clinging on to their npower Championship status as they beat Bristol City 3-2. Slew, 18, fired his first senior goal on his debut at Preston last week and followed up with a fine winner at Bramall Lane to lift the rock-bottom Blades to within six points of safety with three games remaining. City striker Brett Pitman scored direct from a corner in the ninth minute thanks to Blades goalkeeper Steve Simonsen's clanger before Lee Williamson and David McAllister - with a fine strike on his full debut - gave the home side a half-time lead.
Pitman struck an equaliser from the penalty spot in the 60th minute, but Slew struck to help extend the Blades' battle for safety. Both sides ended the game with 10 men as first City striker Nicky Maynard and then teenage Blades defender Harry Maguire were shown straight red cards. The Blades began full of purpose but were undone by Simonsen's howler in the ninth minute. The Blades goalkeeper had turned away Maynard's fierce shot for a corner and when Pitman delivered a right-footed in-swinger to the far post, Simonsen flapped at the ball and contrived to deflect it over the goalline.
Conditions became increasingly difficult as the first half progressed due to a prolonged torrential downpour, but still the Blades, somewhat laboriously, pressed. Wiiliamson's low shot fizzed past City goalkeeper David James' right-hand post and then the game turned on its head in the space of three minutes just before the break. United deservedly equalised in the 40th minute in bizarre fashion. The ball pinball around the City penalty area and visiting defender Jamie McAllister's attempted clearance rebounded off Williamson and into the net.
Two minutes later the visitors were reduced to 10 men, Maynard's scything, two-footed tackle prompting a straight red card from referee Andy D'Urso. And a minute later David McAllister rifled home a brilliant first-time shot from the edge of the penalty area into the top corner following Lewin Nyatanga's miskick. David McAllister then curled another fine effort towards the same corner, only this time James turned the ball away at full stretch. City's 10 men were almost back on level terms in the 52nd minute when Pitman's 25-yard free-kick came back off the post.
The Blades were reduced to 10 men themselves in the 59th minute. Home midfielder Nick Montgomery's short back pass was pounced on by City substitute and former Blade Jon Stead.Stead was brought down inside the penalty area by Maguire and after D'Urso showed the youngster a straight red card, Pitman placed the subsequent spot kick into Simonsen's bottom left-hand corner. Blades manager Micky Adams was roundly booed for immediately sending on defender Rob Kozluk for Williamson, arguably the game's stand-out player, while Pitman and City skipper Marvin Elliott spurned golden chances to put the visitors ahead.
Stead was superbly denied by Simonsen with 15 minutes left and Adams replaced Stephen Quinn with Bjorn Helge Riise soon after to chants of 'You don't know what you're doing'. But with four minutes left Henderson's knockdown from Matthew Lowton's cross was rifled home from 12 yards by Slew to hand Adams his third win in 20 league games as Blades boss.
23 November 2013 - Bristol City 0 Sheffield United 1
A 78th-minute own goal from Aden Flint presented Sheffield United with a 1-0 victory at Bristol City in the battle of the League One strugglers. The centre-back turned a low right-wing cross from Tony McMahon into his own net from six yards to settle a poor game of few clear-cut chances. City were booed off by their supporters at the end, having seen their methodical approach play hit a brick wall in the shape of United central defenders Harry Maguire and Neil Collins.
The only clear chance of the first half fell to City skipper Sam Baldock as he ran on to a 36th-minute pass from Jay Emmanuel-Thomas. With Scott Wagstaff better placed square of him, the striker elected to shoot and was denied by goalkeeper George Long. Emmanuel-Thomas shot narrowly wide following a 19th-minute free-kick and Nicky Shorey fired over for the hosts from the edge of the box.
United's only attempt was a 31st-minute free-kick from McMahon, comfortably saved by City keeper Elliott Parish. The visitors threatened more after the break without testing Parish, while City had a late Karleigh Osborne strike ruled out for a foul.
22 February 2014 - Sheffield United 3 Bristol City 0
John Brayford scored his first goal in Sheffield United colours whilst Ryan Flynn and Jose Baxter were also on target as the Blades beat Bristol City by three goals to nil today. Sheffield United had gone into this match with four consecutive wins under their belts, two of which were in the league against Shrewsbury Town (2-0) and Gillingham (1-0) which was enough to take the Blades out of the relegation zone prior to their meeting with the Robins whilst victories in the FA Cup against higher opposition Fulham (1-0) and Nottingham Forest (3-1) would surely have been enough to lift the teams spirits from what has so far been a disappointing season for the Bramall Lane faithful.
But if cup-wins against Aston Villa, Fulham and Forest weren't enough to give the Blades a boost in confidence then comments such as this from a unknown City supporter would have been the tonic; 'I was there on Sunday at Bramall Lane, must say what a fantastic atmosphere, even when they were losing, the fans never stopped singing. When they got a penalty I swear I thought the roof was gonna come off. The scenes at the end were great as well, was like they had won the cup and possibly sets up an all Sheffield Quarter-Final. I thought they were brilliant to watch today and although I've seen City 9 times this year, it was without doubt the best game of football I've been to all season. We face a seriously hard task getting anything out of our fixture with them if they play like they did today.'
Perhaps this mysterious supporter was one of the few hundred who booed his own side off the field once the final whistle had been blown by referee Mr Duncan in what (in the end) was a relaxed and comfortable result by United which saw Brayford - on loan from Cardiff City net his first goal in red and white colours whilst second half strikes from Flynn and a penalty from Baxter cemented all three points and lifted them above opponents Bristol who for their troubles crashed into the bottom four. Despite the score-line it was the Robins who started off well but this didn't last, in the early exchanges Wade Elliott ran and shot but was unable to trouble keeper Mark Howard whilst at the other end Jamie Murphy went onto a trademark mazy run but his looping cross evaded Baxter.
From then on it was one way traffic as the home side took control of the game, Scougall, who has impressed since his signing from Livingston shook of his marker in the sixth minute and sixty seconds later Flint was perfectly primed to clear the ball off the line when Murphy looked set to score from close range. Consistently United won a string of corners as the Blades continued to attack the kop end in the first half, and from a Baxter delivery Flynn came close to giving them the lead but his shot fizzed past the post. On 13 minutes former Everton trainee Baxter clipped a ball over the City defence saw Scougall surge forward but found himself crowded out by El-Abd. Maguire then went on a powerful run from the half-way line and at the point of impact his powerful effort smashed into the face of Emmanuel-Thomas who prevented a potential goal but in the aftermath laid out dazed. When the goal came there was two minutes remaining, Baxter swung in a corner and Maguire's header was looping wide until BRAYFORD swooped unchallenged at the far post to hammer into the roof of the net; 1-0.
Bristol began the second half in a more positive mood but overall were still second best, on 50 minutes Murphy won a free-kick after Osborne fouled Harris with the eventual taken by the latter saved comfortably from Moore.United doubled their advantage just before the hour mark when the best two players on the pitch combined, Murphy evaded Osborne and his telling pass across the edge of the box found FLYNN who positioned before driving into the far bottom corner. With 22 minutes remaining Matt Hill, who started his career with Bristol City replaced Bob Harris at Left Full-Back and goal scorer Flynn was handed a standing ovation as he made way for new boy Ben Davies. Moments later the game was beyond City when Scougall was hauled down in the box and BAXTER kept himself composed despite the Robins disrupting play with two substitutions. The midfielder calmly slotted the ball home into his bottom left and corner with the keeper guessing correctly but powerless to stop.
