Trouble and strife

Old friend Eddie Johnson’s had a spot of bother.  Never mind that though – I like the caption above: “local soccer pro Eddie Johnson kicks a soccer ball”.   Which is a) delightfully descriptive, b) not necessarily correct (he’s heading it, isn’t he?) and c) just nice anyway.  It would be good if all football photos had such captions.

International soccer player Clint Dempsey shouts while running.

Controversial English football pro Jimmy Bullard increasingly resembles a snooker player down on his luck.

Australian goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer saves floodlight.

I wonder where Eddie’s career will take him next. Even a reserve player in the Premier League will have earned relatively serious money, so presumably our man is set for some time. He needs to find himself somewhere where he can score some goals though, eh?
