Blades fans are asked to note that we will be showing our respects to former manager Ken Furphy at Saturday's game against Swindon Town.

We are encouraging all members of the football family present at our home game v Swindon to join in a minute's applause to mark the life of the manager who took us close to a place in Europe and also what is, so far, our highest post-war league finish.

The souvenir 100 page programme for our Capital One Cup semi-final on Wednesday will also feature a tribute to a man whose life was dedicated to the beautiful game.
