I just pinched this from another site !! Classic !!
.................................................. ......
Let's just say a famous author decided to write a football story and make a film out of it.
Let's just say then, that the closing chapter went something like this.......
"So to the crunch game. Two big rivals go head to head in the Cup Semi Final. The game is a dogged affair with both sides having chances but nothing to show for it. Then, with the clock ticking away, both Managers decide to make changes.
The away team's coach opts for an "Impact Substitution" by bringing on his big striker who, ironically enough, used to play for the home side. The hosts go for the sublime skills of their English striker.
The game ticks by. The flamboyant hero to the home crowd George, who earlier was booked for a simingly "nothing" tackle on their 'keeper, is still leading the charge. The game, however, seems like it is going to head for a replay next Wednesday night.
Then, with 1 minute of injury time played, the two substitutions clash in the box. One goes down, the other holds his head in his hands. The impact sub certainly has made just that, bringing down the local hero - spotter!
Up steps George.
What is going through his mind?
3 years ago he saw his best friend John miss a spotter in this exact goal, against this exact team at the exact same stage of the cup and then saw them run up field to score the winner.
45 minutes before he saw Forde the 'keeper go down like a roll of lino, to get him booked. No way is he getting the better of him again.
He walks back 5 steps turns, runs up and thumps it high towards the top right hand corner.
You could hear a pin drop.
Then all hell breaks loose. The peoples champions were in the Final.
2002 - RIP"
Pity this is just fiction because if someone wrote it, sure no one would believe it .........would they?
