Michael Palin "supports" Sheffield United.

That one isn’t a myth. The myth he perpetuated was that he supports both Sheffield teams, because he is one of the loveliest men in Britain and didn’t like to upset anyone. On the Richard Herring podcast a few years ago he put the record straight, during a an anecdote about his mum where he said she actually looked like Chris Wilder.

Michael Palin "supports" Sheffield United.

This shouldn't even be a thing. The man even had his United hip flask with him in Full Circle.
And in the book of Around The World In 80 Days, drifting off to sleep on a dhow in the Arabian Sea he writes
"The soft lapping of the waves and the steady chug of the Kelvin set a soporific mood,and the last detail I remember of the world is that Sheffield United have won 2-1 at Hartlepool..."
Better than Shakespeare that.
