That evening he was on stage in Napier where he performed for several hours standing up and non-stop.

So in terms of modern day organised sports, especially football, but also cricket, athletics and gymnastics you look no further than Sheffield itself. Hillsborough was built in 1899 after Wednesday were kicked out of their Olive Grove ground by the rail company, residing on pasture land where Buffalo Bill had brought his wild west show, incidentally.<br /><br />The ground itself has hosted some memorable games over the years and pre war has fine tradition and Wednesday were famous long before other upstarts decided to hijack the gamd and reap the benefits of z mord commercia sport. The whole reason Sheffield United was formed was to play in a professional league with the money grabbing upstarts from the notrth west. Wednesday refused, as one of the biggest clubs in the land, to get involved and wanted to keep the game amateur knowing the problems professional sport would bring with capitalism.<br /><br />It is sad that the only memory people the world over will have about a bona fide sporting institution is a disaster that was caused by incompetent policing of ticketless fans who were deliberately treated like animals before and after the disaster by a political that despised the working class.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-75268000296337751022014-05-09T09:18:54.219+01:002014-05-09T09:18:54.219+01:00I think Billy Connolly has recently been diagnosed...I think Billy Connolly has recently been diagnosed with Parkinsons and he had a cancer scare as well last year so that's probably why he's exploring "death".

The name "Wednesday" relates to the formation of the football club when it split from the cricket club which spawned it.
