How would you like to Live Your Dream of running out at Bramall Lane alongside a Blades Legend before taking part in a 90-minutes match on the hallowed turf?

Well now’s your chance as Sheffield United FC have once again joined forces with Football Aid – www.footballaid.com – to give fans the opportunity to play at Bramall Lane in 2014 and raise valuable funds for charity at the same time.

Football Aid offers Blades fans the unique opportunity to experience a matchday in the same way the likes of Harry Maguire, Michael Doyle and co do every other week. Players will gain exclusive access to the pitch and tunnel areas, pull on their own personalised shirt in the official changing rooms, walk down the tunnel to the sound of a cheering crowd and step out on the pitch and represent The Blades in a never to be forgotten 90 minutes of football!



To add to that, the matches at Bramall Lane have also been supported by a host of fantastic Blades legends in recent years, with the likes of Tony Currie, Ted Hemsley, Len Badger, Carl Bradshaw, David Holdsworth, Paul Beesley (and many more) all lending their extra special support by playing alongside or managing the fans on their big day.

Positions are now available in our Auction Bidding and securing a position couldn’t be easier, just visit www.footballaid.com and choose the Sheffield United games and then you’ll have two options: Option 1: Bid to Play – Enter your Maximum Bid and if you’re the highest bidder when the position closes you’ll win your place on your Field of Dreams, or Option 2: Buy Now – Close the auction early and secure your place with a one off payment online.

Sheffield United fan Adrian Landers told Football Aid about his experience after last year’s event:

“Just to say thank you for a fantastic night at Bramall Lane, thank you for the trophy (which I have looked at every 3 hours since receiving!) and thank you for the kind words before I received the Moment of the Match trophy. I keep trying to believe it really happened but I haven’t succeeded yet! I didn’t think it possible to have a better night at Bramall Lane than the one I had for the Football Aid game in 2008 but last week was indeed even better than 2008. Everything was top class (apart from my finishing). The organisation, the legends, the ceremony afterwards oh I could list everything that I saw from when I turned up to when I walked out to the car park in a state of joy and shock at the end of the night! To put it simply, what a great night that was!”
