Taking It On The Chin

‘MANY stories catch the eye – such as the one about the woman with a sleep disorder that makes her get out of bed, leave the house and have sex with strangers.

No relation to Henman Hill

But forgive us if we neglect such lurid tales in order to set the record straight on a more important matter: Jimmy Hill.

Those two words form the sober title of a small item in the Sun, in which the paper refers to an earlier story alleging that the generously-chinned pundit ‘had ‘thundered’ and ‘had an outburst’ when asked to produce his membership card to get into Wimbledon tennis [sic]’.

The paper says that Jimmy has pointed out that he did not raise his voice and remained polite when asked to show his card, which he was quite willing to do.

Any allegations that the matrons of Henman Hill burst into a chorus of ‘Jimmy Hill is a wanker’ are similarly unfounded.’
