I heard of a story recently where the footballer Phil Neville was coaching at Everton when David Moyes went to Manchester United; the Chairman had decided once Moyes left that he would give the managers job to Neville as he was popular at the club and always touted as a young managerial prospect. The next morning he arrived at the training ground to offer him the job, pulled up in his car, and as he got out he seen Neville across the car park, went to wave him over, but before he could put his hand up Neville shouted to him "morning you fat c888".....
Roberto Martinez was offered the job in the afternoon.
In 10 years time I expect to hear a similar story about a time Ben Foakes saying a similar "hello" to Ed Smith
