Iraqi Striker at Liverpool Football Club

Liverpool are 3-0 down, 20 minutes to go. Rafa makes a bold decision and throws on the young and unproven Iraq National Centre forward.

He scores 4 and Liverpool run out 4-3 winners…

After the match, he gets on the phone to his mother…

“Mom it worked out brilliantly for me today, I came on, scored 4 goals and the crowd were singing my name”

“Well it’s ok for you, we were bombed today, and your sister was raped…. We have not eaten for 3 weeks and we have no electricity…”

“I’m sorry Mom.. I should not have left you…”

“You are right… it’s all your fault… if it was not for you, we’d never have moved to Liverpool in the first place….”
