He has been an unbelievable servant for Sheffield United, hasn’t he? When Billy Sharp started his professional career at Bramall Lane nearly 15 years ago, no one would have thought he would amount over 100 goals for the Blades in just 236 games across three different spells. That is remarkable.
Aged 33, Sharp continues to provide for United as he is currently the second top goalscorer in the Championship, with 22 goals in 33 games. He has stepped up to the plate year upon year since he began his third spell in Sheffield and currently holds the title of having scored the most goals in England’s top four League’s in the 21st century, reflecting his astounding career.
Moving back nearly four years now, in late July of 2015, Sharp signed from Leeds United on what was originally a two-year deal. The move certainly excited lots of Blades.
In contrast, some Leeds fans felt that Sharp was not given the opportunities he deserved and wished him all the best.
It is safe to say he has thoroughly excelled in his most recent spell at his boyhood club and the fans will surely be hoping that he can help fire the Blades to the Premier League where Sharp can continue to play a key role in the side.
