I see some government chap in Spain is saying that Mikel Arteta and Fernando Torres, etc and others must do a year in the Spanish Army before they turns 27 (next Year in Arteta's case)...Up to a few years ago your passage into the Army could be bought out apparently, but a rule change in 2006 has led to Mikky and several other Spanish players having to do their time. This isn't welcome Army Spokesman Lirpa Ehttsrif says: "Unfortunately no one is exempt, be you a footballer or a matador. It is only a year of your life for our Nation, and no one will be in any danger of front line action." ------------- Mickey Mouse Ya Bleedin' Bollox |
