New shirt thread/Elvis link (no shirts yet)


Obviously the oncoming Elvis jokes ....but seriously I was there at the Sheffield Utd pre season friendly when Alex Sebella ran the show for them! But if my memory serves me right it was the day or week after Elvis had died & we sang Wise Men Say in respect for the very first time...obviously Hull in recent years

Sabella signed for the blunts in 1978, the year after Elvis's death. Myth has it they narrowly missed out on a guy called Maradona - wonder what became of him? 😄

Remember AS bossing one of his early games when he came to Filbert Street. Strange how the blunts still ended up going down that season.
 
Elvis serve in WW2?? Never knew that. Genuinely.
Nah, he was drafted in the late fifties. Basically the old blokes were raging because he went on the Ed Sullivan Show for the third time in a sparkly waistcoat and mascara. The previous appearance he’d more or less caused riots.

Even though they refused to show him from the waist down this time, he still gave their wives them feelings. He also insisted on singing a black spiritual song against Sullivan’s wishes. The blokes all said nah f*** this and it was announced a few days after that he’d be drafted. They sent him to West Germany for two years.
 
I’m still finding the Elvis thing strange, if the 2nd strip is the “pink slice” then we’ve definitely gone obscure.
I like it tho, better to be quirky than boring.
