This reminds me...

...of a funny Bill Shankly story. When Chris Lawler was about to sign for Liverpool, Shanks called him into his office for a grilling.

"Right" said Shanks. "Let's have it, Lawler. What's your vice? Is it the women?"

"No boss" replied Lawler. "I'm happily married and never look at another woman."

"Ok" replied Shanks "So it's the horses then?"

"No boss, I never gamble. I don't even play the slot machines"

"In that case - it must be the booze?"

"No boss - I'm a teetotaller. Never touched a drop in my life"

Shanks paused, and then exploded: " Christ, son, you shouldn't be a footballer. You should be a bleeding monk!!!"
