Plonk Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 I know a little of this story. Apparently someone got really drunk in Birmingham where Villa wee celebrating winning it. Thought it would be funny to walk off with the unattended trophy. Lost his nerve and gave himself up at West Bar. The night shift had a game of five side in the underground car park in their meal break, with the winners getting the European cup. There are five coppers in Sheffield who can tell their grandkids they were in the team that won the European cup....the other five? Nobody cares about losers 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pablo Bonvin Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Hmmm. Handed into West Bar police station was it? That's not all that far from Bumhole Lane is it in the grand scheme of things? Get it on the honours board. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystic Neg Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 I'm afraid nicking one remains the best and only chance of a cup turning up in Sheffield in the next 50 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
