Portrait of the Tragic as a Young Man
A completely frivolous and uncontroversial post, for once.
In the midst of family Christmas festivites this afternoon, my parents produced a couple of surprises, unearthed as a result of some recent spring cleaning. First:
Your own Football Tragic circa 1978, inculcating a lifelong passion.
But my own favourite:
Homebush Boys' High 4th XI, 1959.
Father of the Football Tragic is extreme right, front row. Outside-left (left-winger, for those born after the war) was his position, he informs me proudly. But then...he's almost entirely right-footed, like me.
It seems the coach was the philosophical forerunner of Pierre Littbarski and Terry Butcher, as far as the deployment of wingers is concerned...

Mate, if you could control a ball with a pair of sandals on, imagine what you could do with a pair of boots!
