Title: Football crazy
Post by: Norm on 20 May 2014, 05:41:18 PM
A rising soccer star seeking a transfer to a top club, went to see the coach of a top league team.

The coach thought he was worth a trial and planned to use him for part of the next game.

The coach said to the rising star, "I'll let you play the first half of the match, but at half time I'll pull you off"

The rising star said "That's great, all I get at my own club is a packet of crisps"

I thought Great Expectorations was when Dickens had a coughing fit in Romney, for which I believe he was prescribed Mint Cake.
