Descrizione dell’editore

Young Wesley Brown bade an extended farewell to his elderly fans. He was loath to part from the 'Silver Devils' who had encouraged him during his lengthy recovery from yet another injury. Young Wesley had met them in physical therapy, club physios availing themselves to the 'old and solitary' to demonstrate the charitable, humane, and tax-deductible side of the gentleman's game. Yet Young Wesley's visit to the retirement home was not a photo op, despite the disposable camera brandished by a balding goal-machine granny. Having promised to help color her bangs United Red, he was disconcerted to find she could now pass for a relative of Freddy Ljunberg. Thankfully, the Swede ceased painting his hair upon securing a modeling contract, leaving Young Wesley no reason to regret his role as makeshift coiffeur.
