Sheffield United: What really happened after football's most famous kiss
Forty-three years have passed since they famously puckered-up in front of nearly 30,000 people at Bramall Lane. But Alan Birchenall, the former Leicester City midfielder, can still remember the whys, wherefores and ramifications of his smooch with Tony Currie in pinsharp detail.
“We were getting battered at the time,” he laughs, “So I wasn’t in the best of moods and we were both tangling for the ball. We ended-up on the deck, looked at each other and it just seemed like a funny thing to do. TC and I have been doing it at least once a year since because everytime we meet up, people keep asking us too.”
