We’ve met before...
The 2011-12 seasons’ campaign will mark 113th and 114th Steel City Derby between Sheffield United and Sheffield Wednesday; the very first league meeting on 16 October 1893 ended 1-1 at Bramall Lane.
You have to go all the way back to 1979-80 season since the two clubs last met at this level; it is also the season the last time both clubs together weren’t in the top two leagues of the Football League. The Owls of course won their home tie 4-0 on Boxing Day in a day that the Blue faithful will never allow us to forget – you’d think that it was the only time they’d won a match, or maybe it is?
United prevented the Owls from completing the double after drawing 1-1 on 5 April – though the last time our opponents did the double over us was in 2008/09 after a 95 year wait! In 2009-10 seasons the Blades destroyed their opponents with a 3-2 win at the Lane after taking a 3-0 half-time lead; whilst drawing 1-1 at Hillsborough.
Statistically, United have the better hand over their opponents – in 125 professional meetings the Blades have won 45 to the Owls 41 (39 draws).
Alan Quinn remains the only player in the history of the Steel City Derby to score for both sides, he first netted for Wednesday in a 3-2 defeat in January 2003 before scoring in a 1-0 win in a Red and White shirt in December 2005.
Two goals for the Blades at the Lane will mark their 100th professional goal in all competitions against their bitter rivals whilst Wednesday need to net seven at Hillsborough to achieve the same feat for the Owls.
