one of the most passionate rivalries in football. Looking back to
the Victorian era and the start of the Steel City divide, it
features a decade-by-decade history of the derby in the context of
the changing times. With an enhanced focus on the modern era, the

matches are highlighted, providing emotive examples of each club's
highs and lows, recalling the wildly contrasting rollercoaster ride
undertaken by red and blue factions. The great games, players and
managers are all to the fore. Using contemporary written and
broadcast material together with the author's first-hand account
and experiences, Wednesday v United brings home the intensity that
is the hallmark of the Sheffield divide.
