Not entirely Karma but very close
My best mate at school was a young man who has gone on to be a successful Premier League Footballer. Currently at Manchester City but previously of the mighty Aston Villa.

Anyway shortly after he established himself as a regular first team player at Villa we went out for a few drinks in Birmingham. While stood at the bar we were approached by a local gent who proceeded to berate him for his latest performance which even my mate accepted was crap. The tone of the conversation changed somewhat when this chap started complaining that the only reason he was picked was

"'cos he was a n*****".

The chap then went on to say how brilliant his son was and how he could do everything that my mate could do but he didn't get into the Villa setup cos he wasn't a n*****.

This continued for a few minutes and my normally placid buddy was getting mighty irate, with all of this my son can do that you can't crap, and all the racist bullshit that was now being aimed at him he cracked and responded with a retort that still makes me smile.

He took his wallet out of his pocket took about a £100 quid out of it and promptly set it alight with another mates lighter.

"Bet he cant do that though can he, you redneck cunt".

Hearing my god fearing mother loving chap come out with such a response left the whole of our group somewhat shocked. Not as shocked as the redneck was though.

Racist twat.

Nice!
Similarly when a long haired gothy young friend of mine gets harangued by rednecks/chavs for being a 'bloody student' his reply is 'No, but I was, NOW I just make 26 grand a year with 5 weeks paid holiday...'

A-a-and walk away.

Enough clues there...
...to identify the gent in question!

Man City, Ex-Villa, committed Christian. I actually saw his debut for Villa against Wimbledon in 1997 - which was also Carl Cort's debut for Wimbledon. Two promising young strikers, two very different careers.

Awesome story. Have a click.

ha!
i bet his son just loves him. what a role model!
it's a good thing your mate didn't lower himself to hitting the arsehole, it could have destroyed his career, all because some prick in a pub thinks he has the right to insult anyone he feels like.

Must be a common gag among footballers....
I remember reading a story about Kieron Dyer around six months ago saying that he was in a nightclub when the bartender (or mixologist as I suppose they're called now) made a big show of spinning bottles and the like. The mixologist ended with a 'Bet you can't do that" and a smoldering 50 was the result.

So, we learn two things from this: your mate must have told his story to Dyer at some stage... and Dyer is only half as flash as your mate when it comes monetary mayhem.

Or you're making it up... but I wouldn't assert that.

....
I know it's not an original response. The first Villa player to respond in such a fashion was Paul Mcgrath but he added a headbutt for added effect. Maybe it's taught on a Tuesday at training, set-pieces, running and witty retorts to bigoted idiots.

Not an original response maybe but definitely a true one and without doubt extremely entertaining.

pah @ rich folk
Some of my mates who are considerably richer than me tend to do similar things on nights out with tenners, twenties.. I think someone done a fifty once perhaps. Not in my face or anything but just during general banter...
