Leon Clarke has an interesting perspective on the Steel City derby.
He sees one of England’s fiercest rivalries through the lens of a player who has represented both Sheffield United and Sheffield Wednesday. His spells at each club were separated by a decade but time proved an insufficient dampener of hostility. Speaking exclusively to The Yorkshire Post, Clarke said: “I played in one at Sheffield United and I played in one at Sheffield Wednesday. The Sheffield Wednesday one, I don't remember the atmosphere being that electric.
He said 'if you try your hardest, these fans will back you, win lose or draw, scoring goals or not'. He said if I show them 110 per cent then they'd be on my side and back me. Once he said that, I knew what I had to do.” It proved to be a move that worked for both parties, as Clarke helped Sheffield United climb from League One into the Premier League. Wilder was a manager Clarke enjoyed playing under, partly due to the “blunt” nature of instructions given out.
