If Part One was the struggle in the hero’s journey, Part Two is where everything clicks.
Chris Wilder arrives, hands Billy Sharp the captaincy and builds a team that plays perfectly to his strengths. What follows is the defining stretch of Sharp’s Sheffield United career: 30 goals and 100 points in League One, another promotion from the Championship, a first Premier League goal at Bournemouth, and a player who keeps adapting long after people have decided he must surely be finished.
Andrew, Sam and Jon Bradley revisit the partnerships with Leon Clarke and David McGoldrick, the title-winning and promotion seasons, the strange COVID campaign, Sharp’s late-career reinvention and a final promotion before his departure from Bramall Lane.
It’s the story of a player who was written off repeatedly, reinvented himself repeatedly, and somehow ended up living the career every Blade dreams about as a kid.
