Tried to leave us for Pompey too. Sure there was another occasion he wanted to go as well ...
We were rubbish but were stil cheated somehow, according to my vague recollection. Considering Sheffield United have been almost uniformly shite as far as I can remember, we don't have a very good record there. See also: Crystal Palace.
It was a sad day when he left us. He realised he had to leave to play champions league football as did others afterwards. Let's hope history doesn't repeat itself with the likes of Jack and Ollie.
It's strange that we never went back in for him towards the end of his career. He would have been perfect for us in the Championship.
