So someone gets a call at the football club.
George Weah's cousin or nephew was in England and looking to join a football club.
He wanted a trial.
Well, Matt will know at that time we had such a small squad.
We were having trial listening all the time.
In fact, that's how we got Isle Berkovich in.
He came for a week in pre-season.
We ended up signing him, and he became a fabulous player.
At Southampton, for Southampton.
So this guy turns up, and anyone who's been involved in football, you would know in the first five minutes of a game, small side to side, if the boy can play or not.
So within the first five minutes, on the Monday morning, we say he aimed for us, he's hopeless.
But we didn't have enough players to have a neat aside.
So we kept him for a week.
As the week goes on, we had more and more people get injured.
So we're now looking, I think it was Leeds United we were playing on the Saturday.
Matt was at Leeds United and Matt was our only fit forward.
And it's all Matt's fault because Matt lasted about 20 minutes.
And as I'm looking down at the bench, what can we do?
I've got centre-halves and right-backs and left-backs.
And we've got this guy on the bench.
