Well, I was super into finding out which periods had the most intense games between Sheffield United and Leeds United. First, I started off by hitting up the local sports libraries. I searched through piles of old newspapers, flipping through pages and scanning for any mentions of these two teams’ matches.
Then, I logged on to some old – school sports forums. There, I posted my question and started chatting with other fans. Some of them were real old – timers who had seen these games live back in the day. They shared their memories, like how the atmosphere was electric during certain seasons.
Next, I dug into online sports databases. I filtered the data by the two teams and looked at the scores, the attendance, and the stats of each game. I compared different time periods, checking which ones had the most high – scoring games, the most red cards, and the most close finishes.
I also reached out to a few sports journalists who had covered these teams. I emailed them and asked for their insights. One of them even sent me some rare footage of old matches that I could watch and analyze.
After all this researching and analyzing, I put together a timeline. I marked the periods that seemed to have the most intense games. Turns out, there were a few decades where these two teams really went at it, with fans going crazy in the stands and players giving it their all on the pitch.
Finally, I shared my findings on my blog. I wrote about my whole journey, from the first step of searching in the library to the last step of creating the timeline. And I invited other fans to share their thoughts and memories, hoping to start a good discussion about these epic rivalries.
