A Must read - Worldclassalbion - 21-09-2018
At a recent Black Country Derby, Darren Moore aka BIG DAVE goes into the Baggies changing room to find all his players looking a bit glum. “What’s up?” he asks.
“Well, we’re having trouble getting motivated for this game. We know it’s important but it’s only Wolves and we can’t be bothered, they’re shite”.
Darren looks at them and says, “Well, I reckon I can beat these by myself, you lads go down the pub.”
So Big Dave goes out to play for the Albion by himself and the rest of the Albion team go off for a few beers. After a few pints they wonder how the game is going, so they get the landlord to put the television on. A big cheer goes up as the screen reads “Albion 1 - Wolves 0” (Moore 10 minutes) he is beating the Dingles all by himself!
Anyway, a few more pints later and the game is forgotten until someone remembers “It must be full time now, let’s see how he got on.” They put the teletext on. “Result from The Hawthorns WBA 1 (Moore 10 mins) - Wolves 1 (Jimenez 90 mins)
They can’t believe it; he has single-handedly gotten a draw!! They rush back to Hawthorns to congratulate him. They find him in the dressing room, still in his gear, sat with his head in his hands. He refuses to look at them. He says, “I’ve let you down, I’ve let you down.”
“Don’t be daft, you got a draw, all by yourself. And they only scored at the very very end!” the players say.
To which Big Dave replies: “No, no, I have, I’ve let you down... I got sent off after 12 minutes”.
