The phone call could have gone like this:
"Hi Southampton FC. It's Will. Will Salt. Don't you remember me? I used to analyse the opposition teams for you. Anyway, I'm standing on this grassy knoll and I can see Middlesbrough training. Is there anything about it that you'd be interested in?"
"What do you mean it's less than 72 hours to the next game? Oh shit! I thought it was Wednesday. Bloody Bank Holidays."
"OK. Sorry to bother you. I must run and get changed now. Some people are after me"
