Who Says Boys Can't Multi-Task?


The Foxes' goalie (that is football speak for 'goalkeeper') on Saturday was Paul Henderson. He is number 13 in the squad. He has been with LCFC for nearly 2 years, having taken a free transfer offer from Bradford.

He clearly lied about his age in order to get into the team, claiming to be born in 1976, 4 years after he was at his peak as an ice hockey player. Amazing what a haircut and a bit of botox can achieve. He has grown a couple of inches since then of course. He has also written a book.

A man of many talents. Which is of course exactly what you need to be a goalie. In fact I don't know how men manage to do it at all, multi-tasking not usually being their thing. For instance, take a look at the picture above. Mr Henderson in action. Note how he manages to perform a 'jetee', catching the ball that is coming towards him, looking beneath the ball through his arms at a woman who has just bared her breasts to attract his attention, whilst preparing to lift his right leg so that he can kick his opponent on the way down and pretend it was an accident.

Now that is quality.
