Season summary
The 2005–06 season was Sheffield United's twelfth straight season at the second level of the English football pyramid – a period longer than any other team currently in the Championship, and their longest spell in any Division since 1934.
After beating Cardiff City 1–0 on Good Friday and never being outside of the top two places all season, the Blades required only one point from their final three games to secure their promotion. Results later that evening meant only Leeds United could in theory catch the Blades, but on the following day, 15 April, they failed to beat Reading at Elland Road which saw Sheffield United promoted back to the Premiership after many disappointments in the previous few seasons.
Kit
