Listen to Billy Sharp's hilarious Oasis-inspired welcome to Sheffield United for Sander Berge
and live on Freeview channel 276
That’s what happened to new Sheffield United midfielder Sander Berge upon his arrival at the club...virtually at least.
Club captain Billy Sharp sent a whatsapp message to the club’s social media team saying “Want me to announce Sander Berge?”

To the tune of Oasis’ She’s Electric, Sharp sang: “He’s Norwegian, he plays for the Blades with John Egan, we’re playing in Europe next season...he’s Sander Berge.
“He’s Norwegian, Norwood and Fleck are the reason, we’re playing in Europe next season...he’s Sander Berge.”
Given he was born three years after the song came out, there’s a fair chance Berge doesn’t know the tune. He’ll soon learn.
