Sheffield United and Sheffield Wednesday have been some of the fiercest rivals in English football, and have served up some eye-catching matches over the years at both Bramall Lane and Hillsborough. 

The Blades look as though they're set to return to the Championship, having endured a season to forget in the Premier League this term.

Sheffield United are currently rooted to the bottom of the top-flight standings, and it doesn't seem as though they'll be moving off the bottom anytime soon.

But it isn't going much better for Sheffield Wednesday, with the Owls currently sat 23rd in the Championship table, and in serious danger of relegation into the third-tier of English football this term.

Darren Moore's side beat play-off chasing Cardiff City 5-0 in their most recent match, but will be eager to put together a positive run of results in the near future, as they look to retain their status as a Championship club next season, where they'd be likely to come up against their local rivals Sheffield United.

We take a look at TEN players who played for both Sheffield United and Sheffield Wednesday, and see what they're up to nowadays.

Leigh Bromby is first up on the list, with the former defender turning out for both Sheffield Wednesday and Sheffield United during his playing career.

He started his career with Sheffield Wednesday, and made over 100 appearances for the club, before departing in favour of a move to Sheffield United in 2004.

Bromby was a regular for the Blades over the years, before going on to sign for Watford in 2008. His spell at Vicarage Road was a brief one though, as he spent just a year with them. He returned to Sheffield United permanently, before moving to Leeds United, where he concluded his playing career in 2013.

Bromby is now working at Huddersfield Town as the club's Head of football operations.

Richard Cresswell is next up, with the former striker playing for both Sheffield United and Sheffield Wednesday at some point in his career.

The forward signed for Sheffield Wednesday in 1999 after an impressive spell with York City. But he only spent one season with the Owls, before moving to Leicester City in 2000.

Spells with the likes of Preston North End, Leeds United and Stoke City followed that, before he returned to Sheffield permanently in 2010, but with Sheffield United this time.

He impressed in a loan spell in the previous season before the Blades made the move permanent. He returned to York City later down the line, before finishing his playing career with Tadcaster Albion in 2017.

Curran is another player that played for Sheffield Wednesday before making the move to Sheffield United later down the line.

The winger was previously on the books with the likes of Doncaster Rovers, Nottingham Forest, Derby County and Southampton during the early stages of his career.

But he moved to Sheffield Wednesday in 1979 after a spell with the Saints, and went on to spend three years in total with the Owls.

He left the club in 1982, and went on to make the short trip across to Sheffield United, although his stay there was a brief one, as he left the Blades after just one season.

Curran went on to call time on his career whilst with Chesterfield in 1987, whilst his last spell in management was Mossley in 1992.

Bradshaw started his professional career with Sheffield Wednesday, and made over 30 appearances for the club in a two-year stay with the Owls.

He departed in 1988 in favour of a move to Manchester City, although his stay with them didn't last long. Bradshaw went on to sign for Sheffield United in 1989, where he went on to spend five years in total with the club.

Bradshaw made over 100 appearances for the Blades, before opting to sign for Norwich City in 1994. A three-year stay with the Canaries was followed by a four-year stay with Wigan Athletic.

Bradshaw concluded his playing career in 2005, after a three-year spell with non-league side Alfreton Town.

Quinn spent seven years with the Sheffield Wednesday first-team, and made over 150 appearances in total for the club, which makes for good reading for the former Owls midfielder.

The Dublin-born midfielder left the club in 2004, as he found regular game time hard to come by towards the end of his time with the Owls, having been out on loan with Sunderland in 2003.

Quinn didn't have to travel very far to find his next club though, as he signed for Sheffield United in 2004, which is where he spent the next four years of his playing career at.

He signed for Ipswich Town in 2008, before calling time on his career after a spell with Handsworth in 2014.

Chris O'Grady is next up, with the experienced forward signing for Sheffield Wednesday back in 2011 after spells with the likes of Leicester City, Rotherham United and Rochdale.

The forward went on to score nine goals in 51 appearances in total for the Owls, as he spent two seasons at Hillsborough with the club.

After impressing in a loan spell with Barnsley, O'Grady signed permanently for the Tykes in 2013, before signing for Brighton and Hove Albion a year later.

In his first season with the Seagulls he was sent out on loan to Sheffield United, but found game time hard to come by, with O'Grady scoring once in his four appearances for the Blades.

O'Grady's most recent spell in football was with Bolton Wanderers, which came to an end at the end of the 2019/20 season.

Keith Treacy is next up, with the former Irish winger making 16 appearances in total for Sheffield United in a loan spell in 2009, whilst on loan from Blackburn Rovers.

Treacy went on to sign for Preston North End after his spell with Blackburn came to an end in 2010, before signing for Burnley a year later, which is where he spent three years with the club.

In his second year with Burnley, Treacy was sent out on loan to Sheffield Wednesday in search of regular game time. But he made just seven appearances for the Owls, and scored just once.

A brief spell with Barnsley was followed by a move back to Ireland, as he signed for Drogheda United, before calling time on his career with St Patrick's Athletic in 2016.

Windass is a household name for supporters of the likes of Hull City and Bradford City, but isn't as well-known for his impact with Sheffield Wednesday and Sheffield United.

He was impressive in his spells with the likes of Aberdeen, Oxford United and the Bantams, before going on to sign for Middlesbrough in 2001.

He struggled to make a notable impact with Boro though, and was sent out on loan to Sheffield Wednesday soon after signing for Middlesbrough.

Windass made just two appearances for the Owls though, before going on to score three goals in four appearances for Sheffield United, which saw him make his move permanent at the end of his loan spell.

He called time on his playing career in 2012, and briefly managed Humber United in 2019.

McMahon started his career with Middlesbrough, but signed on loan with Sheffield Wednesday in 2008.

He made 15 appearances in total for the Owls, before briefly returning to the Riverside from his loan spell at Hillsborough. After leaving Middlesbrough, McMahon went on to sign for Sheffield United.

He scored two goals in 61 appearances for the Blades, before signing for Blackpool 2014, after a successful loan spell with the Tangerines.

McMahon is still playing football competitively, and is currently turning out for non-league side Darlington.

Johnson started his career with Manchester United, but left the club in favour of a move to Bury in 1995.

After going on to impress with Bury and Ipswich Town, Johnson earned a move to Nottingham Forest in 2001. He went in search of regular game time out on loan relatively quickly though, and was loaned out to Sheffield Wednesday in 2002.

He made seven appearances in total for the Owls, before later being loaned out to Sheffield United, where he made just five appearances in total for them.

His most recent spell in football was with Hucknall Town, which came to an end in 2007.
