Former Beaver, Ashley Sestanovich captained a young Sheffield United side – part of the deal following his move to the ‘Blades’. Sestanovich went close for the visitors with a free-kick. United’s keeper, Ben Scott, denied Channell before Jeffrey scored in the 16th minute, crashing home a shot from a corner. On the half hour, Billy Sharp brought out a full-length save from Massoud. Late in the first half a combination of Kelly and Jeffrey robbed Sestanovich, the ball ran kindly to Gardner who guided the ball wide of Scott. Early in the second half Sharp missed narrowly with a snap shot and then Massoud beat away a fierce shot from Kevin Hurst. O’Conner hit the upright, Allen hit the crossbar as Hampton saw out a 2-0 win over the young professionals.

Couple of interesting names in the Sheffield line up Sharp went on to have a long career and scored plenty of goals.

Unfortunately I don't have one, the only names I have for sure were the ones in the press report. There is a squad list in the match programme, but no guarantee who was there on the night....
Kristian Rodgers, Ben Scott, Colin Cryan, Steve Yates, Nick Ellis, Dominic Roma, Ashley Sestanpvich, Anthony Tansley, Jean-Phillipe Javary, Danny Wood, Kevan Hurst, James Ashmore, Ian Ross, Jonathon Forte, Owen Morrison, Larens Ten Henvel, Billy Sharp

"In 2006, Sestanovich was arrested and charged with conspiracy to rob from a roofing firm in South London in June 2005 that resulted in the murder of a man who was shot in the chest during the raid.[6] In April 2007, he was found guilty and sentenced to eight years in prison"
