Jokers Corner
Late TackleA reporter visited an International full-back in hospital the day after a big match. 'I understand you were the victim of a late tackle,' he said.
'You could call it a late tackle, I suppose,' said the full-back. 'He knocked me down in the bar after the game.'
Diagnosis
A man went to the doctor one day and said:
"I've just been playing Rugby and when I got back I found that when I touched my legs, my arms, my head, my tummy and everywhere else, it really hurt."
So the doctor said: "You've broken your finger."
True Story
It was back in the late sixties or early seventies. Glasgow District were on tour to the south of France and one Gordon Brown (Broon Fae Troon) was making his first tour with them. He had been told that Rugby was big down there and to expect a lot of publicity.
When the plane landed in the South of France he was the first off the plane and was greeted by thousands of people standing on the airport terraces cheering and waving. So Broonie wasn't exactly expecting a welcome such as this but he waved back anyway.
What he didn't realise at the time was that Concorde was making its maiden flight at that same time and the crowds were cheering at it and not the rugby players.
One for the ladies
Why do rugby players like smart women?
Opposites attract.
