    There's a bloke who's famous among Blades fans for writing books about being a hooligan in the 'Blades Business Crew', one of the 'most respected firms of the time'. He's written two of these books, I've read one of them, and from what I remember it was all 'we were outnumbered but we fucked em up' type stories. Whatever.

    I don't really care either way about that, let him write what he wants. Hell, let him have a big event for his new book (which is a tory of his life supporting the club, so not ostensibly about fighting people but will probably have a fair bit in there). What's fucking baffled me though is that he's got some event in Sheffield this weekend and basically every ex-United player or manager seemingly in the region is going to this book event thing. Chris Wilder, Brian Deane, Tony Currie, Dane Whitehouse, Dave Bassett.....list goes on. There's about 15 more ex-united players who are probably unknown nowadays to many people outside of Sheffield.

    Does anyone else find it really fucking weird that all these ex players and managers are turning out for celebrate/support some prick who's only known for being a fucking hooligan and fighting people? More than that - writing books boasting about it?

    What the actual fuck?
    Bit of a segue, but there's a Japanese guy who killed and ate a French student in a Paris. Did two years in prison pre-trial, then was sent back to Japan and released. Has been free ever since and is treated like a celebrity.

    Didn't they do some mad shit like convince a porn starlet to shag him on camera then tell her who he was afterwards?

    Being a thug has always been popular. Look at the Kray twins. Bronson even married a soap "star" a while back.

    I'm pretty sure Chris Wilder was in some of the MIGHTY BLADES firm in the past.

    Are we discounting the idea that he may just have paid these people to appear and promote his book?

    Reminds me of the black books episode where they get that hooligan bloke in to do a reading.
