Although all soccer matches were important, this one was particularly important. Peter had been stuck out on the right wing and a younger Polish boy, with a name none of his teachers could get right, had taken over his striker position. This boy only had one leg and needed to attempt to kick goals with his artificial leg, while balancing on a crutch.

Okay, I need to explain. St. Pat's was a rugby mad school and, to play soccer (as they called it back then) a boy needed to have a medical certificate from a doctor. Peter was fortunate because he loved soccer and was nearly blind.

The team was full of very overweight boys, boys with parts of their anatomy missing, even a boy with no head. Yet, they'd had a pretty successful year - they'd only lost their last game 17 - 1. Unfortunately, Peter's replacement had scored the goal. The opposition had protested, saying that the boy had used his crutch, but the referee, probably out of kindness, had upheld the goal.
Fast forward to 2023.

Wearing makeup!
Peter is shocked!

Woo hoo again Google Blogger Monitor section.
That's the way to go although mentioning his relatively junior age is not a good idea to a narcissist like he is. This will go right to his head and there's enough woolly stuff up there - inside it and on top of it.
I chuckled.
