Obviously Ghana has more of an interest in long term education than this country...21 year old school boy??????

from NUFC.cock:

>>UNITED TO THE RESCUE

When 21 year old Newcastle United fan Bro.Frederick Kubi from Ghana was chosen to play football for his school team in this year's Inter - Schools Championship he was immediately presented with a problem - he did not have any kit to wear, nor did he have any money to purchase one!

He wrote to Newcastle United Football In The Community with a plea for help and his faith in Newcastle United was immediately rewarded when they responded by sending him a jersey, shorts and socks in order that he could start his training.

Ray Hankin, Director of Football In The Community, said today: "We were all touched by his plight and were only too pleased to help out. The young players of today could be our stars of tomorrow and we should try to help them whenever possible. "<<

Africa is a continent riven with famine and AIDS and yet the best that Newcastle United's disgraced directors can do is to send an old football strip. This is typical of a club which has demonstrated it's disregard for it's own fans by turfing many of it's disabled and OAP supporters out of seats that they have held for several centuries. The club is robbing the poor Geordies (average income #20 per week) blind, although this might be seen by some as a blessing as blindness would prevent them from watching one of the most underperforming sides in the Premiership, won once again this year by the brilliant Manchester United. The brilliance of David Beckham and the wondeful human touch of having his son's name "Brooklyn" on his shoes - (continued on pages 2,3,4,8-10,16-34 etc Also see our special colour supplement devoted to Manchester United and containing a special competition where you can win a David Beckham shirt)
