1994–95 Sheffield United F.C. season

Bramall Lane operated with only three sides during the season as the old John Street Stand had been demolished.^[1]

Following relegation from the Premier League, the season before the club had little funds to try to mount a sustained promotion push. During the summer, Carl Bradshaw had been sold to Norwich City for £500,000 and Tom Cowan to Huddersfield Town for a further £200,000.^[1] They were replaced by two cut-priced Australians, Doug Hodgson and Carl Veart, who cost £30,000 and £150,000 respectively.^[1]
