A few of you have been asking why George Biggles McCartney, the quietest man if football, is called Sausages by those of us here at HD Towers.
A few years ago we saw that George McCartney Butchers of Moira had won an award for their quality homemade sausages. So, we that thought in mind we contacted George McCartney of Moira to explain that we wanted to present Biggles McCartney with some of his finest snags. Butcher McCartney, a regular a NI games, was happy to oblige and so sent a huge coolbag hamper of quality sausages express delivery to Sunderland. The British Sausage Appreciation Society also sent us tea towels and coasters.
That day Sunderland were playing at Stoke and the presentation was to be made by the North of England NISC. After the game we waited for the players to appear but could not see the Biggled one anywhere. Eventually, we lost patience and gave them to Jeff Whitley instead, who immediately tried to light one up. We explained what they were and he promised George would get them.
It was only later we found out there was a huge Sausage fight on the players coach on the way back with Biggles the laughing stock. So, this is why Biggles is affectionately known as Sausages.
McCartney, who last spoke in 1998, is a big favourite here at HD and we are delighted to confirm that despite rumours, he is not a vegan. |
