and the lad who is playing up front with me is sat in the corner of the changing room looking really distant. I sit down and start getting changed, all the usual 'banter' ensues as everyone arrives, one of the other lads wishes my strike partner a happy birthday. Admittedly I had forgotten it was his birthday but he says cheers and quietly leaves the changing room to warm up.
One of my friends turns to me after he leaves and says 'it's his birthday today and he comes home to find his mrs in bed with another bloke'. This silences the dressing room and everyone leaves in a bit of a somber mood.
Anyway, after a quick warm up the game begins and I manage to put him in to score with barely a minute on the clock. Cue mass group celebration, we mob him and his smile is there for all to see.
Lovely old football.
