quality story regarding Totti and Juve fan

[Hereford Red]

Not Forest related however worth sharing, from Guardian CiF post

guys, I was in Rome at the weekend visiting my brother, who told me an interesting story about Francesco Totti. My brother is a teacher at the school where Totti's children are pupils. My brother is apparently on nodding terms with Totti. Also at the school is a janitor called Joey whom my brother talks to regularly. Joey is mad keen on three things, computer games, Aerosmith and Juventus. He is something of a gentle giant and enjoys winding Totti up with tales of the greatness of Juventus. Back at the end of January Roma travelled up to Turin for a game against Juve and Joey was full of bravado confidently predicting a win for them. Roma won and Totti scored a penalty thus illustrating the danger of hubris. The day after at school, Totti approached Joey and asked him "so how did you enjoy the match last night?". Joey, down in the mouth replies "ah, not so much". Totti then says "maybe you will like this better" and produces from behind his back the shirt worn on the previous evening by Alessandro Del Piero. Totti had apparently gone into the Juve dressing room after the match and asked for the shirt knowing that it would help ease the pain of Joey the janitor.
I think that in the cynical age we live in, for a person to do something like that, without announcing it for media acclaim, shows a certain quality of character which is maybe missing from some sporting personalities.
Hope you enjoyed this as much as I did.
Stay guilty.

true though u agree that the player-fans relationship this season is immense? we are one unit and think that there is a closeness between the players themselves and then with the supporters.

It is sort of Forest related, as we should be in winning the champions league, the season after next.

Think we'll sign Totti when we go up this season

Yeah, there's a togetherness about the place, because we're doing well and there's little/no bitching. Long may it continue.

I've been on more than nodding terms with some Totti in my time.

I heard Chambers called G-Mac's mum a ' Basket case '.

G-Mac replied by sucking his teeth.

Bennett chirped up after laugh by saying '' Naaaa man, mans got mirked, innit blud ''

G-Mac walked off with a bad man limp and made the guns sign with his hands and proclaimed ''Braaaap, Braaaaaap Brap Brap Brap. Pop Pop, Braaapety Brap.''

Chambers and Bennett sealed the joke by touching fists, nodding heads and saying ''Safe bruv''


Not everything is rosey Trentside, you heard it here first.

Thats a great story

My mate lives in milan, and she used to teach all the ac milan and inter kids. She told me last year that the players come to pick up thier kids and one day stankovic came in, and on the whiteboard spent an hour drawing a diagram and explaining how he scored his first ever league goal. All to help in the english class.
Figo as well came in and had a kick around at play time.

Also, the players bought her farcically expensive gifts for xmas as a thank you (a £15,000 prada bag was one she showed us).

Now she just teaches andrea pirlo's kid privately- and she says pirlo is ridiculously nice and very shy.

Its wierd how footballers can behave so differently in real life to how they do on the field.

To be fair I've got the biggest mouth when playing football and it gets me in trouble, I also would say I'm much tougher too. Nothing like the everyday me, think it's the competitive streak in us all some where.

An Italian switching sides is nothing new.
