FENWICK IN THE WORLD CUP
There was a conversation going on between two local lads at the local pub, The Short Tailed Fox, and it ran thus:
Dave: Damn! I can't believe Wales didn't qualify for the World Cup! Something isn't right!
Bob: I agree. It is a disgrace!
Dave: It's a conspiracy! I have seen Wales play many times, they are the best for sure! I will tell you something and this is true - you put a couple of those Cardiff boys on the field and they would take the world by storm!
Bob: Of course!
Dave: Cardiff is one of the best teams out there. I just don't get it! I just don't understand why they never get a chance at the beautiful game.
Bob: The world is a very unfair place I am sad to say.
Dave: I have lived here in Fenwick for about twenty years, but I was born and grew up in Wales. So there is Welsh blood in my veins, you see, that is why I am so passionate about the country. I tell you Bob one of these days my boys from Cardiff will have a chance to kick for their country and win the game in the face of all the world. Everyone will know that Cardiff is the one.
Bob: I can't wait.
Dave: Ah! A man can dream hey?
Bob: When one must one can.
Dave: So who is Fenwick playing against tonight then?
Bob: Uruguay
Dave: We are going to win aren't we?
Bob: Of that I have NO doubt my friend!
Dave: I have total faith in our new team manager, Ben Heath. He is a good man. He knows what he is doing. He has a strategy to win the game. Bless Ben Heath! He is going to win the World Cup for us I know it. This is our day, Bob. The time has come for our country! Fenwick will win the big game!
...And Bob echoes - "Fenwick will win!"
***
It's the night of the big game: Fenwick V Uruguay.
Ben Heath's strategy to win is to play devils advocate...
Ben gives his team some pep talk:
Ben Heath: Alright lads! Listen up! This is what we are going to do! We are going to play bad. We are going to make the enemy think they are winning. We will give them a couple of scores, and then in the last minute we take it ALL BACK. They will think they are on top, but they won't know what's hit them in the final round! Fenwick is going to win this. Alright lads, let's do this! REMEMBER! Let 'em think they are winning, and in the end we will crush them. Let's go!
***
The Match is OVER in under fifteen minutes.
The score:
Uruguay: 5
Fenwick: 0
During the game a local Fenwick lad hit the ball with his head so hard he got brain damage!
It turned out to not be all that bad in the end because when he woke up he discovered that he had a new talent for music, specifically with the piano. He would go onto write the most beautiful songs to touch the ears of humanity! Wonderful stuff! Such music as you cannot imagine - marvellous and flowing...
In the years that followed this lad would eventually become known locally as the Beethoven of Fenwick.
