Recruitment Day

[f row crew]

I popped down this afternoon out of interest. Looking around I noticed two gents sat at a desk in the corner. One in tracksuit, one neatly dressed in a sharp suit, clearly a man of substance and high standing. The track suited gent caught my eye and beckoned me over. ‘Hi son’ he said in his grizzled northerly voice. ‘Alright Keef’ I responded…‘didn’t see you there’. ‘You ever played the great game son’ he asked. ‘Ten years between the sticks for St Bernadette in the Scunthorpe Sunday League Div 6’ I replied. Keef and his mate looked up in an air of excitement, Keef opened his book and began scribbling. ‘Any achievements during that period son?’ He enquired. ‘2 players player of the year trophies and a top half finish one season’ I responded. Keef and his mate turned to each other and they both grinned widely. ‘You will do for me son’ said Keef ‘fancy a contract ?’. His mate was now becoming increasingly excitable, ‘how did you achieve the top half finish?’ He enquired. ‘I remember it well’ I said, ‘it was the year we brought regular Bru poster Iron King into the holding midfield position to do the job Kenton never quite did for you last year, supported with Jerry Mahoney dancing down the wing Beagrie style, doing the job Devarn Green never quite did for you last season and with Bru poster Stocky on the bench, usually introduced towards the end Of games getting on the end of the Mahoney crosses when we needed the all important winner notching, doing the job that Bunn and Hallam never quite did for you last season’. By now there was frantic scribbling in books’Iron king available do you think?’ Said Keef ‘is he cheap?’ Said his mate. ‘What about Jerry and Stocky ?’ Said Keef. It was all becoming very frantic and dribbles of excitement were beginning to form amongst the pair. Turning to his mate Keef said ‘if we play our cards right here Will we could have squad reinforcements done and dusted in one afternoon’. ‘I don’t know’ said his mate beginning to look a little crestfallen ‘they look over 17 years of age to me, not sure dad will be happy, and I think they will want paying more than the apprentice rate of £3K per year’. The mood changed in an instant, ‘yeah your right’ said Keef ‘ah well son, maybe next year when we breeze the Conference’ he said as I shuffled away….dreams shattered.

Excellent .. good to see a creative sense of humour is still alive n well in Scunny even if the football club is up the creek without a paddle.

Very very amusing, do give up to your day job!

Had a weird phone call last Friday from someone called Keef with a strange accent asking me to sign up to a new tariff for £3000 per year, but I don’t come cheap. Also they wanted to service this old boiler in the middle of summer,to ascertain if I would last a cold English winter. Cheeky git!

Got my old boiler serviced last night.wonder if keef is moonlighting,hopefully he is better with gas leaks than leaking defences
