I remember them banging on about it a few years ago about having the first ever black professional footballer. But let’s be honest, they try to claim everything. Look how they hijacked Sheffield FC’s 150th anniversary, they even got Pele talking about when he came to Sheffield (even though he never actually played there, it was a few miles down the road) How they talk about Bramall Lane hosting the first ever floodlit match, like it’s a badge of honour, not only did United not play in that game it happened before they were even formed. Can’t rule anything out from a club who names their stands after famous people who happen to have walked past the stadium 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He played a handful of games for them after already having played for Rotherham Town numerous times. Incidentally he played for us in a testimonial game before he even played for Rotherham (at least according to wiki). Let 8 goals in in the second half, typical Wednesday! They'll claim owt!
