Jack Warner flies to Baghdad to watch a young Iraqi play football.
He is really impressed and arranges him to come over to play for his club Joe Public in Trinidad.
Two weeks later Joe Public are 4-0 down, away to W-Connection with only 20 minutes left. Joe Public manager gives the young Iraqi striker the nod and on he goes in.
The young Iraqi is a sensation, scores 5 goals in 20 minutes and wins the game for Joe Public. The fans are delighted; the players and coaches are delighted and the media loves the new star.
When the player comes off the pitch he 'phones his mum to tell her about his first day in Trinidad football.
"Hello mum, guess what?" he says. "I played for 20 minutes today, we were 4-0 down but I scored 5 and we won! Everybody loves me, the fans, the media, they all love me.
"Wonderful," says his mum, "But let me tell you about my day. Your father got shot in the street and robbed, your sister and I were ambushed and beaten and your brother has joined a gang of criminals, all while you were having such great time."
The young lad is very upset. "What can I say mum?".
"The least you can say is Sorry!!!" says his mum, "It's your fault we moved to Trinidad in the first place!"
