Words matter. These are the best Chris Wilder Quotes, and they’re great for sharing with your friends.
Obviously my knowledge of the game has improved but I’ve tried to keep true to what I believe in.
Sometimes I get recognised and sometimes I don’t. The bus drivers will sometimes stop to try and get a selfie at peak times with traffic all around you!
We used to get into other players’ heads mentally and physically. In my day it was me versus you, my future versus your future.
I’m not bothered how people feel. This is a real tough sport.
The job is always with you, 24/7. I played over 400 games as a player and the highs aren’t as high when you win and when you’re a player the low isn’t as low when you get beaten. It really spikes and dips as a manager.
You have to be calm as a manger.
I’m delighted with the experiences I’ve had and I’ve had some experiences to say the least!
There is a lot of crap spoken about footballers being nomads but when you get to a club and you create a spirit, there is no doubt players want to do well for their team-mates and club.

I’ve come a different path to some and, while I respect everyone else’s 100 per cent, I’m proud of mine. I’m proud of where I’ve come from and where I am trying to get to.
It all goes back to the players putting everything out on the pitch. They commit to the game, so the support gets behind them straight away. They don’t see half-hearted performances, they don’t see people that are not running around. They see players competing, putting in the effort and enthusiasm.
I still live in the city. I still jump on the bus.
I never had a dream of being in the Premier League.
Certainly Sheffield United have been a good fit for me.
I’m one who will go and have a beer with my pals on a Sunday afternoon. I’ll go on a Friday night and have an hour with my pals, lads that I’ve knocked about with for 20-25 years.

My first job was at Alfreton Town and the chairman backed the club. He wanted to win so it made the job easier. I then went to Halifax, where I turned up and there was no balls, no training ground, no players. I had the other side of it.
