Sky advert and Burnley snails

Post by turfytopper » Sun Aug 11, 2019 6:57 pm

Sorry if this has already been covered.

The sky football advert features each premier club but we are represented by three members of the ground staff team... and a slug? (Sic snail)
Does anybody know why there's a slug (sic snail), and who are the guys in the video?

The "Snail" also goes to the pub and dances in the fans hand :D

His name is Brian and he sits in J74 JHU

I do know the difference..but many thanks for pointing out that it's a snail. I'll pay more attention next time I see the advert.

No problem.

Next time you require gastropod identification you know where I am.

Cringe inducing advert looks like it’s been made by Brighton fans or some other plastic fantasy land types.Reminds me of the Reading song...( the vid itself )
