Lee Hendrie thought his career was all but over after the treatment he received at Bramall Lane under Kevin Blackwell.
Hendrie, who has recently joined Bradford City on a free transfer said his confidence was shot during his time with the Blades, and was made an example of by the then manager Blackwell.
Speaking to the Bradford T & A, Hendrie said:
“Blackwell just shut me out completely. I was even having his staff asking me why I wasn`t playing because they couldn`t understand it.
“He was using me as an example of the attitude he wanted from his players and saying I`d be a big part of his plans. But then he`d take me places and not even put me on the bench.
“I`d be travelling down to QPR and not even get a shirt. He just destroyed me.
“It got to the stage where I thought I`d become a bad player overnight. I`d played in the Premiership for so long but suddenly my confidence took a big dent.
Hendrie has joined up with Peter Taylor at Bradford City, and made his debut in the recent 1-0 victory against Gillingham, as a half-time substitute for another ex-Blade Jake Speight.
