Sheffield, England is known at the Steel City. The new promoted Sheffield United Blades have done the city proud so far this season. The city is a tough one with an industrial history. The team hasn't won a trophy since 1925. But there's some history in this team, back in the day Sheffield United won leagues and cups. They play in a stadium that was built in 1855. Presently, The Blades are a home grown unit. English, Scottish, Welsh, and Irish players abound. Their manager was a Sheffield United ball boy who also played for the team, who has injected new ideas to the team tactics. Tactics that other managers wouldn't imagine trying, especially with a newly promoted team. Foreign money made them "Giant Killers" in 2014/15, while propelling The Blades back to the Premier League, even though they've made few transfer splashes; their success thus far has them hoping for a long run in the top division in English Football.
