Sheffield United 2001–02 football season
During the 2001–02 English football season, Sheffield United competed in the Football League First Division.
Season summary
During the 2001–02 campaign, the Blades hoped to build on last season's top-half finish, but inconsistent results and too many draws cost them the opportunity to challenge for promotion via the play-offs. They finished in 13th place – a disappointing mid-table finish in Neil Warnock's second full season in charge.
