But the joke started about five years ago

When he had only been out of the game for a couple. I get that it applies now but why it started in the first place I don't get.

...and yes, I've read people who suggested he wasn't very good. Maybe that's down to historical ignorance and basing their opinion on the joke, I'm not sure.
