SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY star Barry Bannan told Rhian Brewster he was “absolutely f***ing honking” as he launched an X-rated blast at the striker.
Brewster was caught on camera recently at Sheffield United’s promotion parade in the Steel City leading supporters in a derogatory chant about their neighbours.
The 23-year-old, a £23.5million signing from Liverpool in October 2020, and his team-mates are preparing for a return to the Premier League after United finished runners-up in the Championship.
And as the squad and their fans partied, he grabbed the mic to lead them in a song by first asking: “What do you think of Wednesday?”
That led to a loud response of “s***” to which he followed up with: “What do you think of s***?”

He then proceeded to sing “We hate Wednesday, we hate Wednesday” as the mass crowd followed suit.
Meanwhile, Wednesday and their supporters are still celebrating their first promotion in a decade after beating Barnsley at Wembley in the League One play-off final.
The Owls took to the streets in Sheffield for an open-top bus parade through a sea of blue and white fans.
And much-loved Bannan took the opportunity to hit back at Brewster after clips emerged of him joining the club’s fans for a celebration in and across town last night,

Brewster, who fired England to U17 World Cup success in 2017, bagged ten in 20 appearances during a loan spell in the Championship with Swansea to earn his move to United.
But the former Liverpool ace has scored just five goals in 63 appearances for the Blades since.
Meanwhile Bannan, who has been at Hillsborough since 2015, has further cemented his hero status amongst the club’s faithful with his outburst.
The ace, who turned down several opportunities to leave after they were relegated in 2021, was lauded on social media.

One fan tweeted: “Atta boy, my captain. Warra bloke.”
Another said: “Loool. To be fair it’s poor that Brewster’s most notable contribution for £20million is on a microphone.”
While another commented: “That’s my captain!”
