It must be my lucky day, just as I was about to wend my merry way home, another hopeful came over to me.
Would you like to buy some football boots?
I'm in my sixties why would I want football boots I ask.
Well they're size 12 and cheap came the reply.
A pair of 9's would make me look like Mcdonald's clown, I'm not interested was my reply.
Oh come on he said, they're in Stanley colours surely you want to support your local team?
IF I want to support the team I won't buy nicked boots I will buy a season ticket, came from my gob.
Yeah but you can sell them on to someone young enough to play.
No, If I wanted someone young playing football I'd buy them an honest pair, I wouldn't want a pair that are nicked.
You've no loyalty to the team he came back with.
Well, that was it, he is perfectly right, I don't follow the team, I don't follow football, I don't understand football, I do like to hear when they win there lies my loyalty.
I have no loyalty towards nicked football boots no matter what team they represent.
Somehow I'm beginning to think, too many shoplifters and too many people buying from them exist in our town.
