Well, I assume he can read….
A bold assumption, but not the point I was making. He will have been introduced to the other members of the team, but has to be able to remember the names. In low grade pub football, half the team can be new each week, so keeping track of who you are playing with isn't easy.
I know, I was pulling yer plonker. I used to play in a Sunday team where we’d trawl houses at 10:30, chucking stones at windows to try and drag players out of their beds. Often ended up with the odd ringer or two in the line-up who you’d never met.
