A Sheffield Wednesday fan who was touring the USA stopped in at a remote bar in the mountains of Nevada. He was chatting to the barman when he spotted an old Native American sitting in the corner. He had tribal gear on, long white plats, wrinkled face. “Who’s he?” asked the man.
“That’s the Memory man.” said the barman. “He knows every fact, go and try him out.” The man goes over, and thinking he won’t know about English football, asks “Who won the 1991 Rumbelows Cup Final?”
“Sheffield Wednesday,” replies the Memory Man.
“Who did they beat?”
“Manchester United,” was the reply.
“And the score?”
“1-0,” he said.
“Who scored the winning goal?”
“John Sheridan,” was the old man’s reply.
The man was blown away by this and told everyone back in England about the Memory Man when he returned.
15 years later he went back to the USA and found the bar. Sitting in the same seat was the old Native American man, older and more wrinkled. Because he was so impressed, he decided to greet the man in his native tongue. He approached him, raised his right hand, and said “Hau”.
The Memory Man looked up and replied, “Half volley. Dinked in off the post from 20 yards”.
