In 2017, everyone loves Stormzy.
It turns out that even extends to Paddy Crerand, the 78-year-old former Manchester United and Scotland midfielder – so much so that he did his own unique tribute to the UK’s favourite grime artist on MUTV.

We’re guessing that in reality Crerand – who is a a regular on MUTV – did this because somebody at United made him do it rather than because he just really loves Stormzy.
But fair play to him, he really went for it.
Is it just us, or can you imagine Sir Alex Ferguson saying “you’re getting way too big for your boots, you’re never too big for the boot” back in 2003 shortly before launching a football boot in David Beckham’s direction?
Maybe we’ve just discovered the song’s hidden meaning…
