TRAINING THURS NITE A LONG, LONG TIME AGO........
Arthur: 'Frigg sake lads, were struggling for a team on Saturday for the braid match, anybody know of any decent players we can draft in'
CJ Tanner: 'I know this guy at work, Davy you call him, played a bit of 5-a-side with the cove, he's a quality player'
Arthur: 'Bring him along on Saturday'
SATURDAY MORNING
The car cruised in, anticipation lingering in the air like a fine morning mist. Who was Davy? was he our next midfield maestro, the man with the engine of a Stevie Gerrard coupled with the goalscoring ability of Frankie lampard. The passenger door to tanners' car opened and out rolled Davy. Surely not, no, no give him a chance maybe hes just let himself go a bit since his glory days, anyway you never lose that awareness, movement, touch of class on the ball.......
Davy squeezed himself into his top, attempted some form of a warm-up and the match got under way. Ill sum it up quickly;
movement zilch
awareness non-existent
first touch like a rapist
and to cop it all off a bit of a gobs**te.
Davy moaned, lost the ball, moaned a bit more, hit a 50 yard pass straight out of play and well, moaned. It looked like it was going to be a demesne career that lasted about as long as a Chris Thompson comeback. But our good man Davy had other ideas.....
30 yards out he connected with the ball... which flew into the top corner for a debut strike! This was the worst thing that could of happened cause now Davy thought he was the man, the messiah, a god on the football pitch.
For the next few matches he tried to either dribble round the whole opposition team and fail miserably or else shoot on sight from anywhere on the pitch,oh and he moaned a bit more as well for good measure.
And then he was gone, as if he never existed, a phenomenon of our own imaginations, a cruel nightmare that we awakened from in a cold sweat. Or else Arfur just dropped him cause he was s**te and he got pissed off and left, i cant remember which.
What goes before is the legend of Davy the Brazilian.
CJ tanner is also available for scouting positions.
