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"
Thats actually meant to be a true story from Rodney Marsh and Alf Ramsay..If you believe Rodney Marsh
No, he's a figment of your imagination. :D
Isn't Rodney Marsh in Kent - Dickens started Great Expectations there.......

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