Question: Who are Sporting Heehaw (Sporting Hee Haw)?

Fans of BBC Radio 1's The Scott Mills Show will know that Scott's favorite football team is 'Sporting Heehaw'. But who are Sporting Heehaw?

Answer: The name 'Sporting Heehaw' comes from a football commentator's mispronunciation of 'Sporting Gijon', a Spanish football team.

How Should Sporting Gijon Be Pronounced?

'Gijon' is pronounced 'Khee-KHON' (the 'kh' is pronounced like the 'ch' in the Scottish 'loch').

Who is 'Michelle' from Sporting Gijon?

'Michelle' from Sporting Gijon, facetiously described as a woman's footballer by Scott Mills, is actually a (male) player from Spain, Miguel Marcos Madera, commonly known as 'Michel'. Michel recently transferred from Sporting Gijon to Birmingham City in England.
