Imbecile is a harsh word. It smacks of a stupidity that is unrelenting and unforgiving in it’s completeness.
I’d like to introduce you to Kirk Bradley. The following occurred in 2009.
‘While I was in the pub one night I was saying how I thought we’d win the Champions League next season and my friend turned to me and said ‘if you’re so sure why don’t you have it tattooed?’
He was obviously joking, so you can imagine his face when I turned around and said ‘okay then’. I really believe we have the quality and ambition to go and achieve the biggest prize out there and I think we can do it that soon.
With Mark Hughes at the helm and the money flowing in, we are going to not only challenge the big four, but the whole of Europe as well.
My mates, who are mostly Aston Villa and West Bromwich Albion fans, think I’m crazy, but I don’t care. We’re going to be Champions of Europe and when that happens we’ll see who is laughing then.
I was often criticised for being a Man City fan living in Birmingham, but now I don’t think anybody can doubt that I am a true fan.’
The tattooist responsible, Mr John Logan, from Logan’s Cave, based in Kingstanding, Birmingham said, ‘Kirk has got to be one of the most optimistic football fans ever.’
No John, not optimistic. The word you are looking for is imbecilic. Here’s Kirk.
