Giles and I both played up front for our local football team. Whenever a goal was sco red, it was always either hi m or me. Gil es had a great talent for scoring goals. He could fire foot balls into the net with ease. He had a real cavalier attitude, and it always seemed to pay off. Whenever he had the ball, he only had eyes for the go al, a target for him alone and no one else. He was my ri val, esse ntially, which I always thought odd. We n ever really hit it off together.

“Loo k at h is skill,” people would say.

“La La La!” I th ought jealously. “I’m better than him.”

But, more often than not, I would find myself off-side when I made my runs and constantly had to en dure lin esmen’s calls. I guess I had to accept in the end that he was simply better than me. So, whenever jealousy struck, I took refuge in penitence and recite dAveM aria.

Still, we had a great football kit.Ann,a local artist, designed it for us


I am not sure that Red is intentional ..Gil is there of course but since that isn't his full name..

Almost hope Red isn't right becasue this will be such an impossible act to follow!!

Edit no not red ..mormegil.. knew there had to be a reason why Giles ... oh bother ...
