Classic. Reminds me of one of my old school teachers. "Where's your homework Hepworth?" "It's at home sir." "I know it's a tome, but where is it lad?"
I was once a Sub in a Sunday League match in Donny. A member of the oppositions surname was Rogers. Unfortunately his Dad was a big Country and Western fan and so his wife and himself decided to bestow his kid with the Christian name Roy as a tribute to the King of the Cowboys, Roy Rogers. Unfortunately, during the game the referee took exception to a robust challenge by Roy and produced a yellow card. When asked for his name, he replied Roy Rogers. Thinking he was extracting the urine, the Ref said " OK Roy, saddle up and get off" and produced a red. He told us what happened when he got to the touchline and despite collective protests, the Ref wouldn't let him back on. His team had to take a copy of his birth certificate with a letter from our Secretary to a meeting at the County FA offices in Leeds in order to have his fine rescinded. Has anyone ever attended one of the FA's tribunals.? It's quite an ordeal, especially if they don't believe the evidence you are giving. I've been to two, once when one of my players bit somebody and once when we were accused of playing " a ringer."
