| ::Sean Bean quits board at Blades to ‘return to terraces’ |
| HOLLYWOOD actor Sean Bean is quitting his post as a director of Sheffield United after admitting he is more comfortable on the terraces than in the board room. The lifelong Blades fan believes he has served his purpose in helping to raise the profile at Bramall Lane. Mr Bean, invited on to the board by plc chairman Kevin McCabe in 2002 said: The club has come on leaps and bounds in the past five years and I’m proud to have played a small part in that. “But as someone who is very passionate about his football, I know my place is out there with the fans who support the club week in week out, whoever is in charge.” It is understood the movie star, who first watched Unted as an eight-year-old, will not be withdrawing the six-figure investment he made in Sheffield United at the time of joining the board. |
