Sheffield â € "City of Sport
Sports in Sheffield hold a special place in the hearts of citizens of the Steel City, and football reigns supreme. Many other sports are popular in Sheffield, of course, but not like soccer. Sheffield United crowds come to cheer, as itâ € ™ s work. There are chants and songs must be sung in different game situations, the most popular is the "Greasy Chip Butty song. The lyrics of the song mentions Imam Beer, Woodbine cigarettes, snuff, and a snack chip fat (which, for those not sure, is a kind of sandwich!).
A scene from The Full Monty provides more evidence of the passion with which football is followed in Sheffield. While the exercise of their dance routine, the boys can not seem to get together until an analogy comparing football line dance to an offside trap is put before them. This comparison makes clear what must the offside trap is the second type for men in Sheffield, and the footwork is also needed is common knowledge.
