The local news last week had a bit proclaiming that football was, in fact, invented up here in Aberdeen. Just wanted to throw that out there.

Estelyn, I cannot thank you enough for bringing this to my attention. Fernando Torres is probably my favourite footballer due to my 'discovering' him on Championship Manager (PC game) a full year before he was ever mentioned on British television.

Maybe if I write my fanmail in Quenya he'll finally reply.
