I was holidaying in portugal on a pool day and went up to the hotel bar to order food and a pint, wearing my 94 purple blades shirt.
i order my food but it’s 1:30pm and blades v palace game is on at 2. Trying not to be rude, I ask if the food will be quick enough as my team are on tv imminently, pointing to my blades badge
The hotel waiter’s eyes light up...
“Aha! Sheffield United... The Blades!”
(I thought to myself... bloody hell we rly are big time now that a portuguese waiter recognises our team so enthused!!)
but then he explains... he met the whole squad when they stayed at the hotel recently this summer, and also served the blades lads the year before... presumably on downtime during the pre season training camp
he then brings his colleague over and they both enthusiastically reel off the players they both served and chatted to... billy sharp, norwood, o’connell etc.... says they got to know them a bit over the holiday and were all top blokes, served them for about a week or two each time
The waiters served my food lightning quick in time for the game, understanding my rush. and they were buzzing later when i said up the blades and told them we’d won!
Just a weird little holiday story i thought i’d share with the s2 family
