HERE'S a true but very funny story - if you know your football.

I took my grandson to see a football match last week. We took in the Old Blacks' game against a team from Bolton.

The Old Blacks play the old-style game, with out-and-out wingers.

At half time, a pal of mine came over and said: "It's nice to see a team play with wingers."

My grandson turned and said: "What's a winger?"
