Same could be said with us how we spanked Fulham last season. Just one of those things. No coincidence though it had to be them lol
Love the one about the son asking his parents why they brought him up to be a Wednesday fan and he feels like he’s let him down as a parent.
Bit of useless trivia for you as you obviously know who he is. Reg Varney officially opened the first cash point in the UK - in 1967.
Reg Vardey is (was) a NE car dealer originally based in Sunderland. Sponsor of Sunderland FC for many years. So they may well have meant him!
I remember an edition of Viz where they elided the Varney/Vardey thing and ran a spoof advert of a car dealership. At the time Reg Vardey were running an "advertorial" styled "Reg Vardeys car show" The Viz advert was styled "Reg Varney's Ostrich show". It went on to describe a descending order of flightless birds in increasing order of dilapidation, (mostly centred around miles covered and fading plumage) together with character failings mostly borne of their cantankerous dispositions, culminating in part exchanges "to clear round the back" of bald and downright aggressive birds. This is probably losing something in the telling but at the time me and my brother fell off the sofa laughing at it
