Billy Sharp is a hero

Sheffield United legend Billy Sharp canceled out Onel Hernandez’s opener and Teemu Pukki’s second goal to earn the Blades a point against Norwich this afternoon. But more importantly, the 32-year-old also found time to pay tribute to WWE legend Mick Foley with his famous Mr. Socko finishing move, a specialty of his character Mankind.

Sharp has enjoyed a fine season for Sheffield and manager Chris Wilder said that he’s been a huge figure at the club and is deserving of a contract extension with his boyhood club.

“He’s been fantastic,” Wilder replied, when asked about Sharp’s future earlier this month. “He’s loyal, he’s committed to the football club and it goes without saying he’s a hugely important figure in the dressing room.”
