alanharper Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 I've read his diaries (they were published in book form, I wasn't stalking him) and he mentions Wednesday quite a few times, going to games, how happy he was when we got promoted in 84, winning the cup in 81 etc. but hardly mentions the blades at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why? Its his choice, don't agree with it but not sure he needs to be clear for the benefit of anyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurujuan Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 There is nothing partisan about Michael Palin. I suspect the other poster has it correct, he probably wasn’t their biggest fan, but perhaps favoured the Blades. He’s lived a rich and varied life, all around the world, but is obviously proud of his Sheffield roots. That includes wanting to see both teams doing well 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animis Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 I think he dropped both teams' names in his programmes and books to reinforce his Sheffield roots. He was a middle class lad born in Ranmoor and went to Birkdale then Oxford. I would hazard a guess he's not been to either ground more than a dozen times in his life. Great Sheffielder though - although he's hardly lived here throughout his life. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hasthagotanycheese Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 I think that he should be nailed to the wall by one of the older boys on St Tadger's Day. And if he escapes send the school leopard after him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sternlad Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 I’m glad he’s finally come out as a Blade....how anyone can possibly support that team when they wear that dreadful pink away shirt I will never know! He’s no great loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
