Footballers and Christmas.

Editors[?] are queer creatures, and have extraordinary ideas. I do not think I ever realised this self-evident truth so clearly as when I was approached for some humorous recollections of past Christmas experiences by the Editors of "Prisoners' Pie". You can imagine the easy way they came up and casually said, "Oh, just write us something light. Tell us some of the funniest incidents that happened to you and your professional comrades here at past Christmas times." They were very nice and persuasive, and had disappeared before I was fully conscious of the fact that I had promised to do as they asked.
