Amusing football gags and stories

Saw this on Facebook about Bestie and Rodney Marsh:

Rodney and George went into a bar and consumed 2 or 3 bottles of champagne in a very short time.
George said to Rodney: ”With what I have got, I shouldn’t have done that.“
Rodney said to George: “Well, what have you got?”
George replied: “About two quid”
 
Martin O’Neill going to see Cloughie when he had been dropped. Plucked up courage for weeks and then when he asked Cloughie why he was in reserves, Cloughie replies “well it’s obvious young man, you’re too good for the third team !!”
 
Not a story to rival above but for embarrassment I have too admit to meeting the Pool team in late 80s at a services returning from Fulham or similar. I saw Mike Lester limping along asked what injury he'd done and he looked at me as if I was stupid and said he hadn't done anything. Appears he walked with a limp which says a lot about our quality in those days though he scored a cracker from 35 yards at Bloomfield.

Franz Carr and his Dad go to talk to Cloughie about signing for Forest.
Clough admires Carrs expensive watch and asks to look at it.
Carr hands over the watch and Cloughie proceeds to lock the watch in the draw in his desk.
Clough then says, "and when you sign for me young man, you can have it back!"
