Sheffield Utd legend Sharp admits one Blades regret

Sheffield United legend Billy Sharp admits he has a cause of regret about his departure from the club.

Sharp left the Bramall Lane team in the summer after promotion back to the Premier League.

He had played a total of 377 games for the club over three spells, scoring 129 goals.

"As a kid, all I ever wanted was to score one goal for Sheffield United in front of the Kop, so to be able to do that more than 100 times was amazing," Sharp told FourFourTwo.

"To have been captain and help the club I love get promoted to the Premier League was even better. Those memories will live with me forever."

Sharp added: "My one regret is that I didn't get a proper chance to say goodbye to the supporters.

“I didn't know that last season would be my final one there. Leaving Sheffield United was tough, as I thought I was going to be there for this season as well. I was initially told I would be, so it was hard to get over that."
