Footballer's Dad

Here, word-for-word, is a story I was emailed by a guy about the time he set fire to the father of a famous footballer:

"We were both copywriters at a Manc advertising agency in the early 80s and got involved in an escalating series of pranks, such as tying people to chairs, putting them in lifts and pressing the ground floor button. Bruce came back from the pub one lunchtime and promptly fell asleep in his chair. I squirted lighter fluid on his boots and then made a trail for about 50 yards. This was neccessary as he was much bigger than me and well 'ard. I lit it and watched the flame whoosh along the carpet before igniting his boots. This is where it was meant to stop, but unfortunately it spread to his jeans. I ran away, but apparently he quickly sobered up and managed to put it out. Bruce played in our agency football team. He was rubbish."

So who is Bruce's soccer star son?

My Dad was best friends with Gordon Cowans, who played predominantly at Villa, but also started 10 times for England and had a few yrs at Bari.

That was my schoolyard dad-story, but another lad at school, well his dad knew him too, he had punched Gordon Cowans and broke his nose. That beat my story.
