Eagles Surprise Etuhu With Birthday Package
Midfielder Dickson Etuhu was moved to tears on Tuesday when the whole squad surprised him with a birthday cake and football card signed by all of the squad, including officials and even the Nigerian Sports Minister.
Luckily for the Fulham star, he escaped a more diabolic surprise, as earlier plans to dunk him in the pool were shelved due to a charity visit the team had to perform later in the afternoon to a children’s home.
However, he was forced to make a speech in Pidgin English, a task which he found slightly more difficult than charging down intimidating opponents in the centre of midfield.
But he passed the test, barely, with one short statement “I wan thank all of una for this brithday cake.”
Not exactly flowing pidgin, but it did the business, and as it was his birthday, the lads let it slide.
