    Gerard Houlier was looking to sign some new players to help Liverpool's
    title push, so he sent his chief scout to Afghanistan to search for some
    new talent.

    Sure enough, the scout finds an outstanding 18 year old striker and
    immediately signs him on a 5 year deal.

    On getting back to England, Gerard takes one look at him in training and
    immediately puts him in the starting line up for the big home game
    against Manchester United. The new lad is fantastic, he scores a hat
    trick and creates four more as Liverpool romp it 7-0.

    Ecstatic after the game the young lad phones his mum to tell her the
    good news.

    “Mum” he says “I've just made my debut and had a great game. The team
    loves me, the fans love me and the press loves me. Life is great!”

    “Well,” says his mum, “I'm glad life is great for you. Shall I tell you
    what happened to us today? Your dad's been murdered in the street, your
    sister and I were raped and beaten in broad daylight, and your brother's
    joined a vicious gang of drug-running killers”.

    “Mum, I don't know what to say. I'm so sorry”

    “Sorry?”, She yells down the phone, “You're f**king sorry? It's YOUR
    f**king fault we moved to Liverpool in the first place!!”
