I was enjoying the football highlights on TV the other day, when I was struck how nearly every club, as well as having world class players, also has a skilled carpenter/ joiner/ handyperson. I thought about this because the commentators said that this team or that has got a really strong bench.
Do you know, I heard more fascinating news today, watching the highlights again. It seems that one of England's premier clubs may be approaching a financial crisis. I know this, because one of the players said, after the game, that everyone in the squad was fighting for the shirt. This worries me, to think that they only have one shirt between them. Money must be getting tight.
