00:00There's everybody that a fan would want to see back for what they've created at this football club is what they're going to see.
00:06Plus a few more guests. I've rang the skipper, he's desperate to play but you never know what's going to happen in a football league.
00:12I've rang Didsey, I've rang Enda, I've rang Egan, I've rang Martin Crane, he's going to come back, Kez is going to come back.
00:18I've rang James Beattie who's a big name here so we're going to fight it out for the number six shirt.
00:23There's loads of names that I obviously haven't said as well that are desperate to take part in the game against the Sky Sports Elite 11.
00:31So we'll see who they're going to put out but as always the boys will be wanting to win and put on a big performance for the fans more than anything.
00:37For the full day and just be part of a special occasion and hopefully be more special come the 3rd of May.
00:45Your recovery I understand is going well, you're going to don the red and white one last time so potentially some game time for you as well.
00:51Yeah I'm definitely going to start the game, we'll see how it goes. I'll not be the marauding Chris Basham that we've seen before
00:58but it'll be definitely something that I want to be part of, if not I'll be on the sidelines against the Gaffer and I'll be a little bit scared at times
01:05but we'll give it a good go and then I'll obviously finish the game off and then be around the pitch to clap off everyone who's wanting to take part in the event.
01:12So Sheffield United 2016-17 select team plus guests against the Sky Sports team plus guests right here at Bramall Lane.
01:19It'd be great one more time to fill Bramall Lane for you wouldn't it?
01:21Yeah one more big event, I mean I love coming here but to grace the turf again is something that'll mean really special to me.
01:28I mean it's been two years since me and you've come this period so it'll be nice to put the boots back on and get back out there with all the lads
01:35and I'm sure Billy Sharp will be wanting to score at the Kop end again and Didgeridoo maybe wants to link up with him and Beats as well.
01:41He'll be desperate to get a goal and it'll just be a big event and obviously anyone who steps up in the red and white will be wanting to come off victorious at the end of the game.
