Blades assistant boss Alan Cork has praised Nick Montgomery for his heroic effort in Tuesday night’s victory over Nottingham Forest.

The midfielder, who has missed out with injury in recent weeks played through the pain barrier to help the Blades collect their first victory since December.

“If you had 11 Mont`s in your team then you`d be fine, wouldn`t you,” said Cork, “He works his socks off.

He shouldn`t have been out there because of his (knee) injury but he wanted to take part because he cares passionately about this place.

You can`t put a price on that, you really can`t.

You know with Monty that, come what may, he`s always going to give you absolutely everything. He never, ever leaves anything out.”


Montgomery is expected to retain his place for tomorrow’s trip to Watford.
