I’m still trying to work out what name we need to give this man in the grand scheme of things.
If Billy Sharp is going to essentially be ‘Mr Sheffield United’ because of his deep affiliation with the club, I feel that we need to give a similar nickname to this guy.
Chris Basham recently put pen to paper on a new contract with the club, keeping him here until the summer of 2022. The 32-year-old defender has been a stalwart for the club in recent years, racking up over 280 appearances from League One to the Premier League.
Should Chris Basham be considered for an England cap?
Yes
No
Speaking to the club recently about the deal, he talked about his time at Sheffield United so far and what the future holds for him. Comments which went down extremely well with the fans on social media, with one of them even going so far as discussing his place within Sheffield United folklore.
Rare commodity players like Bash. Totally bought into the Blades & gives everything on & off the pitch for the , club , team & fans 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Bash would run through a brick wall for us I'm delighted he's signed another contract not only is he a top player but he's a top bloke too 👍⚔
