[Gwm]

Ok ok I know what the date is and this is obviously a wind up but it did make me laugh.

Wonder how many will fall for it.

funny thing is there was a sprinter who trialed for a top prem team a few years ago. all the pace but lack of actual skill beyond pub level iirc.

i think it was a top team... though i have a horrible feeling someone going to remember and its Orient or MK dons or similar

Jason Livingston, who failed a drugs test at the Olympics had a trial with Cardiff or Swansea.

The Bolt story is not so far fetched:

To be fair the headline "Usain Bolt considers himself to be good enough to play for Man. Utd" (which is what the article actually reads) doesn't have quite the same impact.

I am sure that a large number of posters on this board consider themselves "good enough to manage BHAFC" judging by some comments.

I remember Ben Johnson harbouring ambitions to play soccer after his disgrace in 1988. I'm pretty sure nothing became of his dreams.
