If you could have just one of those players back in the current side, playing at the level they did when they played for the club, who would it be?

Difficult choice but for me it would be JOC, just edging ahead of Beattie.

Why this man, really can't be doing with him.

Nha, that's class.

I know what you mean. But he is pretty popular and might help get more attending from across the city too.

This sketch he does is very boring now, was alright for 2 minutes but after that you’d have to be 12 to find him funny, he’s done it to death. Lets hope his brother is not in the dugout also as I can’t bare him.

That being said it’s for charity and kids who watch TikTok might want to go and see Bracknall so I’m all for it if it raises more money.

 

[grena blade]

I'm biased because he's from grenoside , but I think he's funny and a nice bloke plus he lost his dad to cancer last year so just wants to raise money for a good cause

 

[CrookesBlade]

I’ll keep my counsel on this given the occasion

One good thing though is it’s a gesture on both sides (given them two brothers are self appointed pig mouthpieces) that hopefully dials back some of the toxic atmosphere that’s built since the last Derby.

[Danetheblade]

Quality this. Blokes done well with his sketches and has quite a following. If it brings more into the charity event I’m all for it.

Half a million followers on tiktok for his Sunday league skits as this character. Also brother of singer from reverend and the makers and the guy on the front cover of the arctic monkeys debut

Ohhhhhhhhh

Didn't recognise him without a drunken squint and a fag in his gob

 

[Berkshire Blade]

Never knew that.

Got paid to get pissed up with his mates

yeah i know Chris and find the Steve Bracknall thing a bit cringe ( probably because i know him) but anything that helps a local charity is good by me and also a way to say a proper goodbye to Bash so i'll be buying a ticket

 

[Nesh Blade]

Haven’t got a clue who this fella is, hope it doesn’t distract from the day being a celebration of our brilliant players from L1 all the way through. Obviously an opportunity to raise funds too but ultimately want it to be about thanking those players for the great memories

 

[ThatJa]

Its very very good PR from United to do this.

I see it as the other way round, the game is first and foremost to raise money for WPH. With a bonus that we are using Basham and former players to do so.

 

[Ranmoorblade]

I find his character funny and his brother big John is a good guy.

 

[BiggerBladeThanThou]

That’s all it is. PR to create abit of coverage for tickets and the occasion. It’s very well done again by the marketing and social teams at the Club.

Plus, it’s irking a few Wednesday as they have all the commercial PR marketing nouse of a pig farm.

 

[Jon Bon II]

Be a bit of a damp squib if we, by some chance, miss out on automatic promotion the day before. Just sayin' like...
