We’ve met before...
Sheffield United has never met Worksop Town in a competitive fixture before; however they have contested quite a few friendly matches over the years. The last came on Monday, 16 July 2007 when then United manager Bryan Robson secured a 2-0 victory.
Danny Webber (15) netted from the penalty spot and veteran defender Chris Lucketti (63) tapped home after turning home a Chris Armstrong corner; the Blades also featured trialist Silvo Spann (keeper), a Trinidad & Tobago international.
Team: Kenny (Bennett 45), Geary, Morgan, Lucketti, Armstrong, Fathi, Ashmore, A. Quinn, Spann, Stead, Webber. Unused: Horwood, Robertson, Donnolly, Naughton, Kerry.
