The morning before last Sunday’s Steel City derby that was won by Sheffield United, their manager Chris Wilder got up at 6am and went for a run to try to clear his head.

Much later that day, with a mission narrowly accomplished in a typically close and feisty game, he went to the pub.

Some people – not only Sheffield Wednesday fans – don’t like that last bit. They have called Wilder classless after he was filmed singing football songs with a bunch of friends and pub regulars. It looked like quite the scene, as they say.
