I was standing in the que to take my son swimming lessons, wearing my Southend shirt, When a big Irish man walked out of the que 2 infront of me, walked over to me and said "bloody great game that Man U V Southend". I agreed, and we discussed further the game.
Then out of the blue he said that he has got the actual ball that that Freedy Eastwood put into the back of the goal.
Me being very sceptical enquired how, he said he knows Steve Tilson very well, as he used to play foe him at Canvey Island, he said he was at the game, when steve handed him the ball.
The man could see i was looking not convinced, called his wife over, and asked her who's ball he has in his garage, she replied Freddys ball.
Now looking a bit more convinced, he said, if you are here next week i will bring it in for you, you can have it, as its just sitting in my garage.
Am looking forward to next week now, is it signed, is it the ball in question, or just some dodgy old ball his son has found and is jusy playing a joke, who knows.
