Trending
This is a story of how a Football Manager prediction changed the history of the beautiful game.
Scottish manager Alex McLeish, during his time at Rangers, was looking to sign talented youngsters in the transfer window, when his son and a Football Manager fanatic Jon McLeish, came to show him that he had signed a youngster in the game and was performing incredibly well.
Jon wanted his dad to sign the youngster in real life but Alex patted his son’s head and told him that it was just a game. The youngster was none other than Lionel Messi.
Later, Alex McLeish tried to sign Messi on loan from Barcelona but, of course, that didn’t happen. Messi went on to become one of the greatest players, if not the greatest, of all time and left Alex regretting the decision all his life.
If only parents could hear their kids out.
