When Sheffield United face Burnley at Bramall Lane on Saturday it will be almost 15 years since their battle in the 2009 play-off final, at a boiling-hot Wembley Stadium. Wade Elliott's stunning strike settled the game, sealing the Clarets' place in the Premier League and condemning the Blades to another season in the Championship.
United's starting XI, subs and manager have enjoyed varied lives and careers since, with some moving on to grace the Premier League and others dropping down to amateur football before hanging up their boots. One is still a regular for England while another owes an alleged £400,000 to fellow former pros over failed investments. Here's what happened to the class of 2009 in the years since...
5. Kyle Naughton
Another youngster who shone on the big day, Naughton went to Spurs with Walker but didn't manage to hit the same heights. He had three loan spells from Spurs before finding a permanent home at Swansea City, where he remains in a bit-part role at 35
6. David Cotterill
Now seen posting conspiracy theories online via his Twitter account, including discussing cancer vaccines with King Charles and claiming "crisis actors" were used to stage a Texas school shooting, Cotterill has been accused of cheating fellow players out of their life savings in failed investment schemes. The Daily Mail reported he owes around £400,000, with the PFA contacted by his alleged victims for help. Cotterill has acknowledged the debts and explained many were taken out when he was battling depression and alcohol dependency
7. Brian Howard
Formerly of Barnsley, Howard scored in the 2009 play-off semi-final to help United get to Wembley but left soon after to join Reading, with James Harper moving the other way. He later played for Bulgarian side CSKA Sofia before helping to set up an agency business
8. Nick Montgomery
A brilliant servant to the Blades, Montgomery played almost 400 times for the Blades before moving to Australia with his family in 2012. He led Central Coast Mariners, where he coached Usain Bolt, to the A-League grand final title last season before landing the job at Hibernian in the summer, which hasn't gone as he would have liked
