Lots of Sheffield United fans have taken to Twitter to pay tribute to Billy Sharp as he celebrates four years at Bramall Lane (Billy Sharp).
The 33-year-old is currently in his third stint with the Blades having previously left back in 2005 and then again in 2010.
Since his return in 2015, he has bagged 87 league goals for the Yorkshire club in 174 appearances.
When Chris Wilder joined in 2016 at the start of Sharp’s second return season, the club were in League One having finished 11th the previous season.
But it took just three seasons from then for the club to return to the Premier League, led by the former Doncaster man who netted 23 times on their way to automatic promotion.
And now plenty of Blades supporters are excited to see what the Sheffield-born centre-forward can do in England’s top flight – a division that he has just two appearances in which came while he was at Southampton.
It is clear Blades fans love him and were straight on social media to show that.
Here is just some of the reaction:

What I love is so many have said over the years, not good enough, getting to old now, used to be quick but lost his pace bla bla bla. The kids see it, the fans see it, what a pro. Let’s have the best one yet Bill. UTB and good look

I remember that “lap of dishonour” particularly well Billy after year 1, however years 2,3, & 4 of your career highlights will live a lot longer and who knows, Year 5 might just be better still. UTB skipper, thanks for the memories so far.
