Football Joke...

The Iraqi Footballer.............


Harry Rednap flies to Baghdad to watch a young Iraqi play football and is suitably impressed and arranges for him to come over to England

He's signed up to a one-year contract and the kid joins Spurs youth team for the pre-seasons matches.

Two weeks later Spurs youth are down by 3 goals to Arsenal youth with only 10 minutes left.

Harry gives the young Iraqi the nod and he goes on. The kid is a sensation - kicks 5 goals in 10 minutes and wins the game for Spurs youth The fans are thrilled, the manager players and coaches are delighted, and the media are in love with the new young star.

When the player comes off the pitch he phones his mum to tell her about his first day of English football.

.
'Hello mum, guess what?' he says. 'I played for 10 minutes today, we were 3 goals down, but I kicked 5 goals and we won. Everybody loves me, the fans, the media...


'Wonderful,' says his mum, 'Let me tell you about my day.

Your father got shot in the street and robbed, your sister and I were ambushed and beaten, and your
brother has joined a gang of looters, and all while you were having such a bl00dy great time.'

The young Iraqi is very upset.
'What can I say mum, I'm so sorry.'
'Sorry? You're sorry?' says his mum, 'It's your bloody fault we moved to London in the first place!'
