2001–02 Sheffield United F.C. season

During the 2001–02 campaign, the Blades hoped to build on last season's top-half finish, but inconsistent results and too many draws cost them the opportunity to challenge for promotion via the play-offs.They finished in 13th place – a disappointing mid-table finish in Neil Warnock's second full season in charge.Source: 2001-02 Football League First Division table Sheffield United's score comes first[2] Note: Flags indicate national team as defined under FIFA eligibility rules; some limited exceptions apply.Players may hold more than one non-FIFA nationality.Note: Flags indicate national team as defined under FIFA eligibility rules; some limited exceptions apply.
