Iragi football sensation joins Halifax Town

[shineydave]

The Halifax Town manager, Chris Wilder sent scouts out around the world looking for
a new striker to try to save them from relegation

One of the scouts informs him of a young Iraqi striker who he thinks will
turn out to be a superstar.

Wilder flies out to Baghdad to watch him and is suitably
impressed and arranges for him to come over to The Shay.

Two weeks later Halifax are 4-0 down to Manchester United with
only 20 minutes left to play.

The manager gives the young Iraqi striker the nod and on he goes.
The lad is a sensation, scores 5 in 20 minutes and wins the game
for Halifax.

The fans are delighted, the players and coaches are delighted and
the media 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. Everyone 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, your sister and I were ambushed, i was
beaten, your sister was raped and your brother has joined a gang of looters, all whilst you were having a
great time."

The young lad is very upset, "What can I say Mum, I'm SO sorry."

"Sorry!" says his mum, "It's all your fault. You were the one who moved us to Halifax in the first
place!"
