I once walked into a pub and as I did, Paddy Kenny got up off a chair and left. I got a beer and sat in the chair which was still warm from his arse.

A heartwarming, or is that arsewarming, story.

I once played football with the sons of Brian Gayle and John Pemberton.

 

[Kozzy_is_my_Dad]

My Dad's Uncle used to manage Wilder, when Wilder played for his local boys' team as a kid.

After we went up as Champions from L1, and in the players lounge that afternoon for celebrations, Wilder went to him for approval. Did we do alright, boss?

Perfect. Humble Blades, remembering who's important.

Plot twist: time to find out if he posts on here...

Second plot twist: probably fallen out with him at some point. Could be awkward.

Andy Reid took his bulldog to the same vet as my cat when he was loan with the Blades. We nodded at each other to say hello and that was it.

When my son was born back in the seventies, the nurse on the maternity ward in Sheffield informed me that the cot my son was laid in was accupied by Tony Currie's child the day previous. True story and proud of it.
