A meme was born
Football history was made over the weekend after referee Mark Clattenburg had his yellow card UNO reversed during the Sidemen’s charity match.
The YouTuber was one of a number of viral stars who took part in the game at West Ham’s London Stadium on Saturday, the 9th of September. He was joined by some of the biggest names in content creation, including MrBeast, KSI, Miniminter, etc. who went up against a YouTube All-Stars team, with the likes of JiDion, IShowSpeed, and Kai Cenat in their lineup.
After over an hour of the game, Fosh was given a yellow card for a foul on Simon Minter. After referee Clattenburg whipped out the yellow card, Fosh was quick to respond with the Uno reverse card.
The image of him holding up the card quickly went viral on all social media platforms, with fans all over the world loving the joke.

The match ended with a score of 8-5 to the Sidemen and more than £2.4 million were raised for multiple charities.
Fosh, since the events of the match, has taken to TikTok to explain the story behind the UNO reverse card. “When I was asked to play in the match, I knew I needed to add a little bit of a Max Fosh spin on the game, so after a lot of brainstorming, I came up with the Uno reverse card,” he says in the video.
“The day of the match arrived and I had them [the cards] in my backpack before sneakily putting them in my shorts. I knew I needed to get a yellow card and so I was sliding all over the shop during the game – I even accidentally scored,” the YouTuber continued.
“The Uno reverse was always sitting there waiting for its moment. Then, eventually, in the 77th minute, I took down Miniminter, and a meme was born.”
