I remember Harvey Elliot mimicking Harry Kane's lisp and, quite surprisingly (and disappointingly), some on here mocking Luke Ayling's stutter. It's not at all clever, nor, of course, is it funny, although Leeds players apparently found it amusing a few months ago. https://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2021/04/30/bamford-shares-what-happened-in-leeds-team-huddle-last-weekend-it-left-everyone-in-hysterics/ Re. Ayling and his speech impediment, I used to like him as a player, but I also admired him as a person for standing up to be interviewed after matches - a brave man. Conversely, I have no problem with referring to Neil Warnock as Colin, although his nickname is not down to any impediment.

I remember reading somewhere that a young lad who had a stutter had heard him and it made him feel great about himself and had given him the confidence to speak to others without worrying about it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
