Hodgy was a slave owner?

Hodgy was a slave owner?

Not saying that xd but it's not enough not to be a slave-owner, you have to be an anti slave-owner and his silence on the issue on Twitter is violence

Jack Smith was our longest serving keeper. From 1930 to 1949. Hodgy was from 1953 to 1971.

He was in goal at the first Blades match I ever saw .

He could pick the ball up with one hand , copying the great Man City goalkeeper Frank Swift .

He was in goal when I first started going to games.I recall he used to make a mark on the edge of the penalty area to indicate the centre of the goal and would then kick the posts knocking any mud off his boots before the game started.

Someone will claim that he liked watching Little Britain and it'll get torn down.

He also used to make a gun shape with his hand and "shoot" the Kop

 

[Mansfield_Blade]

I recommend his autobiography it is a very funny book, but he is still very sore how they brought John Hope in to replace him

....as the kop sang ' Hodgy, Hodgy, Hodgy. Hodgy Hodgy Hodgy.

 

[Bert]

....as the kop sang ' Hodgy, Hodgy, Hodgy. Hodgy Hodgy Hodgy.

That is exactly as Bert remembers it from 50 years ago.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Hodgy was a slave owner?

No, he was a slave diver.

There we go, he's obviously 'problematic' and inciting violence. It's people like him that enable the environment for mass shootings.

No statue for him.
