On this week's edition of 'All Wednesday' we sat down with former Sheffield Wednesday favourite, Imre Varadi, to talk about his time with the Owls, quite literally having his pants pulled down, and what's happening now with 'Imre Banana'...

00:00There was a point when bananas started to turn up at football grounds. Can you tell us what happened there?
00:07I can. Again, I was at Man City 36 years ago, this started in 1987. We were at Main Road and we had some good players,
00:17Bruce for our front, Nick McCarthy was our captain, we had some good young talent coming through.
00:23And a fan brought this inflatable banana and then all of a sudden they started calling me Imre Banana.
00:30I thought, that's weird. Anyway, the next game it started to expand and there was 100 bananas.
00:38And then it just swept the country right through to Arsenal. Everybody had an inflatable.
00:46Some, say West Ham had an inflatable hammer, Grimsby had an inflatable fish and it just took off.
