Chris Wilder has not closed the door on Wes Foderingham’s Sheffield United career after restoring the former Rangers goalkeeper to his starting XI. Foderingham lost his place to Ivo Grbic after his January arrival from Atletico Madrid, but replaced Grbic at Manchester United on Wednesday and was the Blades’ man of the match in a 4-2 defeat. Foderingham will retain his place for this weekend’s trip to Newcastle, which could see the Blades officially relegated if they lose to Eddie Howe’s side,...

Supermarket shopping has changed considerably over the years. These photos take you back to the 1980s and 1990s in Sheffield, long before a Lidl or Aldi was popping up on every street corner.

Some of these stores have gone for good while others have been converted, like the large Waitrose at the bottom of Ecclesall Road, which used to be a Safeway store, and the old...

Hammed, the manager of the new, accessible taxi company, told The Star: “This is important to me.

Both Sheffield sides have had a strong campaign in 2023/24, and they headed into the clash at Bramall Lane occupying the two spaces behind leaders, Birmingham City, but with games in hand. Wednesday had one, United three, and a win for either side would see them rise to first place.
