The Football Coincidence Story
 |
| Jack Charlton playing for Leeds and Bobby Charlton for Manchester United |
A coincidence story today from Edward Gill. It shows how things sometimes link up with the past, but without any real meaning – or maybe there is!
As we looked around a man, about my son’s age, came up to us and said, “Remember me?”
We realised it was a childhood friend of my son called Alan. He moved away with his parents when a teenager and was visiting the area. Quite a coincidence as we hadn’t seen him for many years. We got talking about the ‘old days’.
He asked me if I remembered when I used to play football with him and my son and pretended they were Bobby and Jack Charlton, two famous brothers who were England soccer players.
I did remember and my son told him how his son (my grandson) was called Bobby. “Fancy that,” he said, “I didn’t have a son but my eldest daughter is called Jacqueline. She’s always called Jack by us and her friends and she’s getting married soon to a bloke whose surname is Charlton!”
It was odd how this all linked up together but there was one more twist. Alan said, “And do you realise today is Bobby Charlton’s birthday, 11th of October.”
