How Football Lost a Great Player
How Football Lost a Great Player

I was a rugby player in my youth. On only one occasion was I invited to take part in a game of soccer. I figured it would be a tryout for me and a chance for mere footballers to find out what a poor game they played.

Things did not go exactly to plan. I did not make the mistake of chasing the ball all over the field and, eventually, the ball came to me. I scored a goal.

This would have been a fine start to a dazzling football career had the goal not been against my own side.
