Popular Post wednesdaywizard Posted February 8, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 8, 2022 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”. 2 51 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanharper Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 He was also asked "When did Sheffield United last win a major trophy". But he couldn't remember, he's not that old. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I first heard it about about 30 years ago told about Jeff Astle and the goal being score with a flicked header at the far post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do know who he is though as I think there were reports suggesting him heading the ball could have contributed to his death. Something like that.

I know Skinner is a big Baggies fan so I guess having him on the show was right up his street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
