Bassett’s Blades is the story of a Sheffield United side that inspired a generation. When Dave ‘Harry’ Bassett took over at Bramall Lane the Blades were bound for the third division but within two seasons they were back at the top table of English football, going on to pull off one of the greatest escape acts in top-flight history and scoring the first-ever Premier League goal.
It was an era of iconic players and unforgettable moments, decisive derby-day victories and seismic shocks. With the help of players, staff members and Bassett himself, authors Danny Hall and Nathan Hemmingham chart the adventures of Harry’s Heroes during one of the most memorable periods in the Blades’ long history.
