My godfather is a British stereotype; a relic of the long-forgotten empire.
When he was 18 and applying to university, he was asked if he did sport.

He replied "I shoot, and I fish, but I do not hunt."

They said they rather meant rugby and football.

"Oh!" He replied, "You mean games ... "

Footballers
annoy me - a bunch of prima donna neanderthals paid hundreds of thousands of quid a week to shepherd a piece of leather up and down a piece of grass? Fuck off! - but your godfather, I rather think I like.

I like the idea of
Paying professional footballers £20 a week and a good meal. We might win a world cup then...The 1966 winning team were on hardly any money and often lived next door to the very fans that supported them.
