| Sean Bean leads football protest |  Sean Bean said he hoped MPs would listen to the protest |
Hollywood actor Sean Bean is leading a delegation to Parliament to protest at the way Sheffield United were relegated from the Premiership. The Blades were knocked out of the league on the last day of the season following a defeat to Wigan. Sheffield supporters said rivals West Ham United should have lost points and been relegated instead for using a player who was not properly registered. The actor and 100 other supporters will meet MPs on Wednesday lunchtime. In a statement on the club's website Mr Bean, who comes from Sheffield, said he hoped the politicians would listen. He said: "I think I'm in a position to express my opinion and that of many Sheffield United fans aggrieved by the decision that was made by the original panel. "My message to MPs would be to thank them for the support we've had - I think we've had 40-plus MPs getting behind us and they've shown sympathy for our cause."
