We used to laugh at Lou Todd and Andy Pipkin on Little Britain because the concept seemed so outrageous.
The thought of an able-bodied man tricking his good-willed but gullible mate into pushing him around in a wheelchair when he was perfectly capable of walking felt too far-fetched to be true.
The allegation that Manchester United fans have been impersonating disabled supporters to get into away games this season is no laughing matter, however. In fact, it’s downright disgraceful.
What kind of person takes a ticket intended for a disabled supporter and then goes to the length of acquiring a wheelchair so they get into a stadium to watch a game of football? The kind of idiots who think they won’t then be spotted jumping around celebrating a goal at the next game.
And what about the people who facilitate it in the first place? The disabled ticket-holder who may be complicit in the scam and any middle men looking to make a few quid?
