I am staring at a video posted on X by my beloved Cambridge United. Their stuff is pretty good. It’s four days until our League Two campaign begins at home to Cheltenham. “Striker, Acquired” it reads, the video showing a man with a neat beard in baggy jeans wearing the new home shirt. The music is the kind that if it was played too loudly in a confined space, I would instantly get a migraine. OK, these things aren’t aimed at me.
The man does some keepie-uppies in bright white trainers. He has an endearing smile. He side-foots a few, points at the camera, leans against a post, rests a ball against his right hip and then smashes a penalty into the roof of the net. Our new saviour is here. The man to score the goals to get us back into League One at the first attempt.
