Bob & Joe are sitting in the stands watching their favourite team play.

"Do you realise it is 60 years today we first met on the terraces at the old ground. We have supported the same team together for 60 years. We have been going every season together since. We given each other a pint alternatively. We now play the game in the Over 50's league. I have a great ideas. Whoever get's to Heaven first must let the other know if there's football there". Joe agrees.

A few months later Joe sadly passes on.

At midnight a couple of nights later, Bob is awakened from a sound sleep by a blinding flash of white light and a voice calling out to him.

“Bob…Bob!”

"Who is it?”

"it's me, Joe. You know how you said whoever passes on first would let the other know if theirs football in Heaven? I have some really good news and a little bad news. The good news is that there's football in heaven. Better yet, all of our old friends who died before us are here, too. Better than that, we're all young again. Better still, it's always spring time and it never rains or snows. Our wives are there too, and young and pretty as ever! And best of all, we can play football all we want, and we never get tired!!"

That's fantastic," says Bob. "It's beyond my wildest dreams! So what's the bad news?”

"You're in the team for this Saturday".
