Dressing room was in "disbelief" after only English game ever abandoned over red cards
Sheffield United captain Keith Curle claims the dressing room was in "disbelief" following the Battle of Bramall Lane in 2002.20 years on, the Championship contest between the Blades and West Brom remains the only English game to have been abandoned due to a lack of players. Neil Warnock's side received three straight dismissals in a rampant match in South Yorkshire and two second-half injuries gave referee Eddie Wolstenholme no option but to call the game early.Following the fixture, Baggies boss Gary Megson, who had previously managed United's fierce rivals Sheffield Wednesday, was left seething and demanded that the 3-0 scoreline remained intact.
