The former wrestler will be coming to watch Sheffield United in action next month.
WWE legend Mick Foley, aka Mankind and/or Cactus Jack took to Twitter today, sharing that he will be attending Sheffield United’s clash with Brentford at Bramall Lane on March 12, and Blades fans responded with real excitement.
The connection between Foley and Sheffield United might seem to be somewhat of an obscure one to some.
After scoring a goal last month, Blades hitman Billy Sharp replicated Foley’s famed Mr Socko celebration, and ever since then, there has been a bond between the wrestling great and the south Yorkshire club.
Foley took to Twitter today to share his planned visit to Bramall Lane:
And many Sheffield United fans couldn’t quite believe what they were reading…
Sheffield United are right in the mix to earn promotion to the Premier League this season, and Chris Wilder will be hoping that Foley turns out to be a lucky charm for his team.
The main priority for the Blades, however, will be to continue their fine form, and Foley’s presence on March 12th will likely be nothing more than just a mere sideshow.
