Funny foot ball fact: This one will crack your rips: Sam Bartram

In 1937 On Christmas Day Chelsea played Charlton in Stamford bridge. At the 60th minute when the teams were 1-1 the game was interrupted because the fog was too much.

Charlton's goal keeper, Sam Bartram, did not know that the game had been stopped and all players had gone back to their changing rooms For 15 minutes.

In his autobiography,he says that he thought his team had pushed Chelsea in their own half and managed the game and remained pacing on the goal line.

Bartram remained in the post until 15 minutes later when a guard appeared from the fog and asked him what he was still doing in the field. He then later explained to him that the the match had been stopped about 15 minutes ago.

When he later got to the dressing room, he narrated what had happened to his team mates and they almost died of laughter. Everyone was on the floor and they could not control themselves.

Please feel free to laugh as hard as you want and as long as possible. Research have shown that laughing straight for 15 minutes gives the same health benefit as sleeping for 12 hours!
All work and no play makes jack a dull boy, let's laugh, hahaha
