Kieran Wakefield is my favourite player of all time. He is also the best player in the world. You can tell he is the best because Real Madrid paid more money for him that any club has paid for anyone else, ever. My dream is to see him play at the Bernabeu. That’s where Real Madrid play their home matches. It can hold over 80,000 people and one day I want to be one of them.
I dream about Kieran Wakefield most days at the factory. My job is fairly repetitive so sometimes I go into a trance and think about how amazing he is at football, and what he might be doing while I’m sewing boots together. Rochy moans that he can’t get through to me when I’m daydreaming, but I think he’s just jealous because his favourite player, Leon Belmonte, isn’t as good as Kieren Wakefield. They’re both Galacticos but Wakefield cost more.
Rochy always wears a pink Manchester United shirt to work with BELMONTE on the back. Manchester United shirts should be red, but Rochy’s is so old it’s faded to pink. He doesn’t actually support Manchester United any more because Belmonte plays for Real Madrid now, but it’s his best shirt. Some people think you have to support the same team for ever, and that if you change teams you’re a “glory supporter”, but following your favourite player is different.
“Budi!” Rochy shouts. “Hey, I’m going to start throwing things at you if you keep ignoring me!”
“I didn’t hear you!” I shout back. The sewing machines are really loud sometimes.
Rochy looks over both shoulders before shouting, “Did you hear that Wakefield is injured?”
“No, he isn’t! Stop lying!”

“I’m not lying! I saw it on television this morning!” It’s true that Rochy has a television – his dad bought it a long time ago. There’s a crack that runs right down the middle of the screen so they can’t sell it, but it still works. I’m supposed to be watching the Real Madrid v. Valencia match at his apartment tonight. It’s also true that Rochy knows a lot about football. I don’t believe that Kieran Wakefield is injured though. I don’t want to.
“Did you know that footballers only wear a pair of boots three times?”
“No! Then what do they do with them?”
“I don’t know - probably throw them away!”
Now, Rochy knows a lot about football, but that is definitely not true. If that were true it would hardly be worth the effort making them. I imagine there are probably fans like me who collect them, or the players in lower leagues get to use them.
“Maybe that’s why they get paid so much money. Maybe footballers get paid a lot because they have to buy a new pair of boots every week.”
Rochy shakes his head. “Footballers don’t buy their own boots!”
I’m pretty sure that is wrong too. If footballers don’t buy their own boots, then who does? I don’t want to look stupid so I just keep stitching.
