Sheffield United 2001–02 football season
During the 2001–02 English football season, Sheffield United competed in the Football League First Division .
Season summary [ ]
In the 2001–02 season, it was another campaign of promise for the Blades as far as challenging for automatic promotion under Neil Warnock , but inconsistent run of results and too many draws cost them an opportunity to do so via play-offs and finished in 13th place in another disappointing mid-table finish.
