This is your player calling
I was at my sister’s house last night and the phone rang for her Other Half. Its was Leeds Centurions, aka Leeds Tykes, the local rugby union side.
They were ringing to remind him to renew his season ticket, with the usual ‘book early and get three free games’ type incentives. But there was an extra hook, one of the injured players was making the call. As I understand it, this guy had been off injured for a while so they’d transferred him into the marketing team and he was spending his evenings drumming up season ticket business.
Of course my sister’s other half was thrilled to chat to the player and happy to renew his season ticket there and then. But it got me thinking – can you imagine Michael Owen manning the phones for Newcastle United?
