THE MAG / THE WHY

Why a load of Man United stuff in Sheffield?

ANSWERED BY SCOTT RILEY

The same reason you rock up to Yard Ball in your vintage football shirt, why you shouted ‘Yeboah’ when you tried to smack one in off the crossbar (even though you’re a Blade and hate Leeds), and why you can’t drink milk without thinking of Accrington Stanley (who are they!?)

Nostalgia ✨

I’m a die-hard Wednesdayite 🦉 and love to reminisce about Hirst’s power, Waddle’s trickery and THAT Pressman penalty. But even I would take to the streets back in the day to try and recreate the magic of Cantona, Asprilla’s fancy footwork or Sinclair’s epic bicycle kick. One of my mates, bless him, didn’t exactly have the physique for it. But he nailed it once and that memory is pure gold!

Maybe it’s a love for the kits (and baggy sleeves), those majestic players or even just those random sponsors (who the hell were Fisons?). Either way, we just want to look back at the era when football was fun.

There’s no need to get upset about what shirts and flags are on our walls. We’re here to celebrate the legends of the game and not the crests they wore.
