Warning - this article contains some rude language!

Best known for headlines about London buses being discovered in the Antarctic, World War II bombers being found on the Moon and an Elvis Presley statue being spotted on Mars, the Sunday Sport is a tabloid newspaper infamous for its outrageous and literally unbelievable headlines.

But the salacious and satirical publication has turned its attention locally in recent months, after publishing a variety of stories about Biddulph that are strange, amusing and explicit in equal measure.

The trend appeared to start back in 2018, with a story about a local feminist who felt "excluded and humiliated" after being denied permission to join the "Biddulph and District c**k measuring group".

There then appeared to be a lull for a couple of years, until 2020, when a whole new spate of surreal Biddulph 'news' began appearing in the tabloid.

We have contacted the Sunday Sport to ask why Biddulph, of all places, has been chosen as the scene of so many of their stories, but until then, let's take a look at some of the other articles the Sport has published about the Garden Town of Staffordshire.

In July 2020 came the headline "Johnny Depp sex dwarf stole my cat". The Hollywood star apparently had a "dwarf doppelganger" in Biddulph, who was spotted "buying monkey dust" - resorting to selling sex and stealing local cats to fuel his addiction.

In December 2020, another story chronicled the adventures of a Biddulph turkey, who was saved from becoming a Christmas dinner "because it looked like a feathery ballbag".

The turkey soon became Biddulph's most popular tourist attraction after passing walkers posted a photo of the bird online. People were charged £2 to take a look at the turkey, which also gained 10,000 Instagram followers.

The turkey was a stroke of luck for its farmer, who was "notorious in Biddulph for being at the centre of a 1998 food poisoning case that saw 30 victims' toenails drop off".

Perhaps most recently, in January 2021, the Sport published a story about a homeless Biddulph man's plea to residents to stop urinating on him after mistaking him for Piers Morgan.

The man was made homeless after "a series of financial setbacks, a divorce and an unfortunate conviction for some beastliness in a park", but his life on the streets was made even harder due to his unfortunate resemblance to the TV personality.

A raft of other stories revolving around the town have also been published in recent weeks, but some are just too rude to recount on Biddulph Nub News.

However, a quick Google search will reveal all kinds of wacky Sport articles about Blue Monday, vaccine queues, Jeremy Corbyn, burger bars, Holly Willoughby and more - all with their own very explicit twists and set in Biddulph, of course.

So, the satirical paper's apparent obsession with Biddulph remains a mystery, for now at least, but if any answers emerge, you will be the first to know here on Biddulph Nub News!
