It is just before the next United v cITEH derby
Ronaldo goes into the United changing room to find all his team mates
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 cITEH. They're crap and we
can't be bothered".
Ronnie looks at them and says
"Well, I reckon I can beat these by myself, you lads go down the pub."
So Ronaldo goes out to play cITEH by himself and the rest of the
team go off for a few pints.
After a few jars they wonder how the game is going, so they get the landlord
to put the teletext on. A big cheer goes up as the screen reads United 1 ( Ronaldo 10 mins ) cITEH 0
He is beating cITEH 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 Old Trafford " United 1 ( Ronaldo 10 mins ) cITEH 1 ( Bertie Magoo 89 mins )
They can't believe it; he has single handedly got a draw against cITEH
They rush back to the Stadium 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.
"I've let you down, I've let you down."
"Don't be daft, you got a draw against cITEH, all by yourself. And they
only scored at the very very end!
"No, No, I have, I've let you down...
I got sent off after 12 minutes "
