When Saying Sorry Is Not Enough


Recommended Posts

Posted

Sir Alex Ferguson flies to Baghdad to watch a young Iraqi play

football, and is suitably impressed and arranges for him to come over to

Manchester.

Two weeks later Manchester United are 4-0 down to Portsmouth with only

20 minutes left. Ferguson gives the young Iraqi striker the nod and

on he goes.

The lad is a sensation, scores 5 goals in 20 minutes and wins the game

for United .

The fans are delighted, the players and coaches are delighted and the

media and fans love the new star.

When the player comes off the pitch he phones his mum to tell her

about his first day in English football.

'Hello mum, guess what?' he says 'I played for 20 minutes today, we

were 4-0 down but I scored 5 and we won. Everybody loves me, the fans,

the media, they all love me.'

'Wonderful,' says his mum, 'Let me tell you about my day. Your father

got shot in the street and robbed, your sister and I were ambushed,

gang raped and beaten and your brother has joined a gang of looters,

and all while you were having such great time.'

The young lad is very upset. 'What can I say mum, but I'm so sorry.

'Sorry?!!! Sorry?!!!' says his mum,"It's your bloody fault we moved to

Manchester in the first place".
