The Secret Footballer

[foxy]

I've heard it's based on anecdotes from 3 different players hence the inconsistencies...

TSF mentions daughters in the book. Kitson has 2 sons.

If you didn't want it to seem obvious you might swap genders.

Indeed, swap away if that's what makes you happy and post-op, it certainly wouldn't be obvious, at all!

Has anyone read the Gazza story at rangers in the new book yet?

Do tell!

Has anyone read the Gazza story at rangers in the new book yet?

Do tell!

Ill summarise what the book says.

Players used to get the coach to games and would have their cars waiting for them at the ground to drive straight home away, rather than returning to the ground on the bus and then driving home. Gazza had become good mates with the physio as he had done a lot of fitness work prior to the season. Anyway, Gazza gives the keys to the physio and says he will see him at the ground later. As soon as the physio is out the gates, Gazza gets his phone out and calls the police to say his car has been stolen. The players are on the coach to the ground and he gets a call from the police saying they have stopped his car on the M8, the driver is the Rangers physio and is claiming to know Gazza. Gascoigne replies saying he is on the team bus and is looking at the physio, the police say they will arrest the man and return the car. Few moments later Gazza gets another call, the police have called again to say the bloke is quite upset now and wants to speak to Gazza. At this point Gazza sorts it out with the police who think it is hilarious.

Wasting police time. If you or I did that, we'd be in the dock.

Yeah there are practical jokes, then there is just being a dick.

He turned up at the Police Station with a fishing rod and some chicken, so all's well that ends well.
