A History of Sheffield United FC

This is a history of Sheffield United written by me in my spare time since 2003. It was called Triumph and Disaster after the line from the Rudyard Kipling poem 'If', "If you can meet with triumph and disaster/And treat those two imposters just the same", which seemed fitting. Except for the Triumph part. If you have any suggestions or corrections, please post them below the relevant chapter. Hope you enjoy!
