Image source, Getty ImagesChris Basham spoke to the Blades Heaven podcast about his time at Bramall Lane, which is coming to an end this summer after 394 appearances for the club:
"In the build up last week [to his final game at Sheffield United I was emotional. It's the first time I've cried in years and years. Especially over something like football, I would never really get upset.
"I got teary just because I knew how the send off was going to be. With my family there, and the football club and the history it's got and being a part of that now.
"I always remember, when I walked down the tunnel in the first few years [at the club]. They used to have appearances of the legends, and Chris Morgan was on there with 200 odd appearances. I said to myself If I can get anything near that kind of record I'd be astounded. To nearly double that is amazing.
"I'm sad that I'm leaving, but it's probably the right time for the revolution to happen. The reception [in the final game on Sunday] was fantastic, to hear the crowd shout my name like that one last time was very special.
"You have to give 100% to get 100% back [from the fans]. The fans took to me so naturally. That's when I thought that I could have a future here, maybe four, five years. Not 10!"

BBC Radio Sheffield reporter
Has it been a season of progress, stagnation or indifference?
It has been a season of regression and misery, really.
Sheffield United were not equipped to handle the Premier League, especially when the season began after losing key players.
Despite insisting Paul Heckingbottom's job would be safe whatever happened this year, he was quickly sacked. Chris Wilder returned but, by that point, it was obvious that major changes were needed to the squad.
Several club heroes are going to be moving on. Several other underachievers may do so too. The club faces a major rebuild.
Biggest success for the club this season?
This is really difficult to answer because it has been a horror show.
The biggest success is probably announcing plans for a new training ground - it has been that kind of year. United, if nothing else, can take comfort in building up their infrastructure.
Biggest let down or frustration?
The form at Bramall Lane.
Nobody expected United to have an amazing season in the toughest league in world football but, at the very least, there was hope that home games would be difficult for our opponents. That wasn't the case, with only a couple of exceptions.
United simply didn't compete in several games, suffering harrowing and lop-sided defeats. The Lane wasn't so much a fortress but instead an ice-cream parlour for other teams.
Key item on the summer agenda?
Rebuilding the squad, regaining the character you expect from a Sheffield United team, creating a new era and avoiding becoming a second-tier also-ran.
After relegation last time, United made the Championship play-offs and then won automatic promotion. They need to, if nothing else, stay at the right end of the table and give the fans hope and enjoyment.
They desperately need to avoid drifting and getting stuck as just another Championship team.
We asked you to select your Sheffield United player of the season from the four candidates chosen by our fan contributor.
After voting in your thousands, we can reveal the winner is... Ben Brereton Diaz!

"The fact that a player who has only been here since January makes the shortlist says a lot about our season. But hats off to Brereton Diaz, who has scored six goals in his first 13 Premier League games for us, and worked his socks off despite only being on loan to a lost-cause club."
And here is how the votes went for the other 19 Premier League clubs

Sheffield United's return to the Premier League was short lived and following relegation they will return to the Championship next season.
Ben Meakin, from Blades Pod, external, has given his verdict on the 2023-24 campaign.
Season rating: 0/10. Three wins all season, over 100 goals conceded and seven defeats by at least four goals. I expected this season to go badly but somehow we went below my low expectations.
Happy with your manager? Bluntly, if Chris Wilder did not have a history of success with us, he probably would have been sacked months ago. But the club is going all-in on Wilder being the man to oversee an overhaul so, even as a sceptic, what can you do but cross your fingers and hope the gamble pays off?
Unsung hero: It may seem trite but it has to be the fans. Still turning up in big numbers and packing out away ends, and somehow not turning overly toxic during matches despite what we have been served up. Yes, some of that is apathy borne out of how we approached this season, but the players have had an (undeservedly?) easy ride from those who have paid to watch them.
Player you would most like to sign: We need to bring in over 10 players this summer just to have a squad next season, but top of my list to keep is John Egan. Signing the club captain to a new deal could be vital with so much change taking place in the rest of the squad.
Best away fans: Virtually every team to come to Bramall Lane has had a big party in the away end this season. Brighton were noisy and sold out their allocation in the FA Cup despite having to play us again a few weeks later - although the fact they won those two games by a combined score of 10-2 probably softened the blow of excessive travel costs.

Hamilton became Chelsea's youngest league player and goalscorer aged 16, and had a spell at Southend before joining Villa in 1969, going on to win the 1975 League Cup with the club.
Hamilton, known as "Chico", signed for the Blades a year later and also spent time playing in the USA.
Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder has been speaking to the media after the Blades fell to their 28th defeat of the season, on the final day of the season, against Tottenham: "I have been sat in this position before and I'm going to say exactly the same thing that I have said over, especially, the last eight weeks.
"We don't take chances and then, any opportunity the opposition gets to put us to bed, they take.
"The first half an hour [of this game] summed our season up. There was a familiarity of what happened - great chances, we should have been two [goals] up, then one mistake leads to two and then to three.
"When adversity strikes, we haven't been able to dig our way out of it. The league has been too strong for us, we can't get away from that.
"We have to work hard during the summer to get ourselves in the position that Leeds and Southampton have, which is giving themselves an opportunity to come back up.
"This is my biggest challenge that lies ahead.
"I am the most determined and committed that I have ever been to get it right and to create a team that everyone can recognise and that represents us."
Here are the key facts and figures following Sunday’s game between Sheffield United and Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League.
Sheffield United won just three games and achieved just 16 points in the Premier League this term (D7 L28), with only Derby County in 2007-08 winning fewer matches (1) and recording fewer points (11) in a single season in the competition's history.
Tottenham recorded their 20th league win of the season under Ange Postecoglou, with Andre Villas-Boas the only manager to pick up more Premier League victories in their first season in charge of Spurs (21 in 2012-13).
Sheffield United conceded 57 Premier League goals at Bramall Lane this season, the most ever home goals conceded by a team in a single top-flight campaign. Meanwhile, their final goal difference of -69 is the joint-worst by a side in a Premier League campaign (level with Derby County in 2007-08).
Dejan Kulusevski scored his seventh and eighth Premier League goals of the season, netting more than he managed in his first two league campaigns with Tottenham combined (48 appearances – 5 goals in 2021-22 and 2 goals in 2022-23).
Son Heung-Min recorded his 10th assist of the season and this is the third time he has done so in a single Premier League campaign, with Christian Eriksen (four times) the only other Tottenham player to do so in more than two campaigns.
Tottenham Hotspur ended their inconsistent season on a high by thumping the Premier League's bottom club Sheffield United to clinch a Europa League place.
Ange Postecoglou's side were touted as title contenders early in his reign, but they have fallen away to finish fifth in the Australian's first season in charge.
The visitors were shaky early on as Ben Brereton Diaz fired over for the Blades in the opening two minutes and struck the post with an effort on the stretch.
But Spurs scored the opener with their first attack of the game as Son Heung-min picked out Dejan Kulusevski's run into the box and the midfielder drilled a cool finish into the far corner.
The Sweden international should have added to his tally shortly after but was denied by Wes Foderingham's sharp save low down, while centre-back Cristian Romero struck a post.
Pedro Porro smashed in a scorching first-time finish to double Spurs' lead in the second half, before Kulusevski managed to slide home his second of the game to condemn Sheffield United to their 28th defeat of an abysmal campaign.

All 20 teams are in action on the final day of the 2023-24 Premier League season, with the title winners, European spots and one relegation place still to be confirmed.
Chris Sutton is making predictions for every Premier League game this season against a variety of guests.
For this weekend’s final games of the season, he takes on Gladiators star Legend.
Sutton's prediction: 0-2
We have seen an angry Ange Postecoglou this week, and I totally get why. I really liked what he said before the Manchester City game about how he wants the club to win something, rather than just have bragging rights. If I'm a Spurs fan, that's what I want to hear.
He was bang on. He is trying to build a winning culture at Tottenham and clearly the mentality at the club does not align with his.
On the flip side, I do also understand the pettiness of the Tottenham fans who do not want Arsenal to win the title.
But it sounds like Postecoglou's anger is not just at some of the Spurs supporters who wanted their side to lose to City on Tuesday, but at some people inside the club too.
I admired Postecoglou when he was at Celtic, for the way he turned the club around as well as the football he played.
I still think he has over-achieved in his first season at Spurs because they lost Harry Kane just before it started, and the football has been excellent, but they have fallen away recently.
I am sure Postecoglou would accept it has been a disappointing end to the campaign, with five defeats in the past six games, even if they have had some difficult fixtures in that run, but all of this underlines that there are other issues at the club. I don't know what happens next - they either believe in him, or they don't.
He will be desperate to finish the season on a high, as will Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder, whose side are already relegated, are bottom of the table with only three wins all season, and on a six-game losing streak. Even if the Blades do respond, I am still backing Spurs.
Legend's prediction: 0-0
I am absolutely disgusted by Tottenham fans. They deserve an absolute stinker here and I hope they get absolutely pummelled, then Ange comes out on the pitch with a microphone and announces his resignation there and then because he is sick of managing a club whose fans literally want them to lose. That's what I hope happens, and it would be the just outcome too.
