Millwall Stories

Genius or retarded? When a mildly mentally handicapped teenager with only 69 IQ points sets foot on the green field, what kind of storm will he blow? Ran out of La Masia and rose in the British Peninsula. Yile is on the road to his own midfield master! 🌟🌍🌟

A colleague would arrive at my workplace some Mondays with evident cuts and bruises. A tragic case of domestic violence? No. He was a loyal fan of Millwall Football Club, a team characterised by its "historic association with football hooliganism" (Wikipedia). Did I overhear anyone comment that it might be considered inappropriate to work in a government quango when resembling the runner-up from five rounds with Mick McManus? No. Colleagues alleged that this young buck was untouchable because he held finance qualifications that his boss lacked, despite their requirement to legally sign off public accounts. That same boss was then promoted to personnel director, despite having demonstrated to me a similar skills deficit, and then to deputy chief executive of our organisation. Ho hum.
