Sheffield United Football Club are a professional English football club based in the City of Sheffield, South Yorkshire. They currently play in the FA Premier League, after achieving promotion from the football league championship. The current manager is Neil Warnock. They play at Bramall Lane, in Highfield wearing a strip of red and white striped shirts. Their nickname is The Blades, which can be seen on the team emblem that is said to have been designed by a former manager, Jimmy Sirrel. The emblem was first used for the 1977-78 season, replacing the city coat of arms that had been used since 1966. Like all clubs, Sheffield United have a great range of songs and chants sung by their fans, including the most notable: their unofficial anthem, The Greasy Chip Butty Song. Sheffield United won the League in 1898 and the FA Cup in 1899, 1902, 1915 and 1925. They were beaten finalists in the FA Cup in 1901 and 1936. Their best performance in the League Cup was reaching the semi finals in 2003.
