the daughter must be thick as, if she failed to meet a footballer.

Oh, not just 'a footballer' AOD. An elite footballer. No Diamond Valley seconds player for this girl. AND she stopped looking.

Must have started early though.

footballer
foot ball er

that whole article is sort of ghastly.

All football is sort of ghastly, Fifi.
I think amusing is the only way to cope with it all.

(I did, after all, meddle with handballing in my younger days. And the odd drop kick or two. Ah, eastern suburbs!)
