A highly-paid African footballer damaging the game

Ann Clueless, the completely out-of-touch MP for Vicars Stiffer has spoken of her concern that the lack of homegrown footballers playing in the Africa Cup of Nations is damaging the Premiership and England's hopes of ever winning the World Cup again.

Ms Clueless (106) said that she was appalled that a nation that introduced football to the world nearly 3000 years ago now has no representative at the Africa Cup of Nations.

"Highly paid foreign players are simply squeezing homegrown talent out," she said in a recent interview. "To think that we once ruled the world and yet there isn't a single white footballer out there in Ghana."

Ms Clueless presented her case to Lord Tryhard the FA's new completely out-of-touch Chairman who said.

"It is very unlikely the game will take off in Africa because of the heat, the sand, the lack of proper boots, not to mention the risk that tigers and elephants will interrupt matches."

Lord Tryhard will be 101 next week.
