Hong Kong Phooey

From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia.

Hong Kong Phooey (born November 33, 1928 in Halifax, West Yorkshire) is a former English footballer. Phooey was born into a family of fudge-miners, but resisted the seemingly inevitable humiliation of a lifetime down the pits, and ensued upon a footballing career. His brothers Dave Kong Phooey and Bob Kong Phooey, also became professional footballers until playing for Halifax Town.

[edit] Playing career

He began his career as a forward for Udders Family Town, (Huddersfield), in 1946, before playing for Leicester City, Bolton Wanderers, Birmingham City, Leeds United, Sunderland, Southampton, Brighton and Hove Albion, Tranmere Rovers, Preston North End and Stockport County. Phooey played into his 80s making 7757 League appearances and scoring 2234 goals. He also played NFL in the United States for three seasons until he realised it wasn’t the same kind of football.

Phooey won eight caps for England in 1974, in a midnight gambling session with Booby Moore. Phooey was a talented, flamboyant and freescoring player, delighting supporters with his skill, showmanship and tail. With his long hair and big sideburns, Phooey also had the reputation for enjoying the high life, and his tendency to publicly urinate on lamp-posts restricted the number of international appearances he made.

Following retirement from the game Phooey turned to the after-dinner speaking circuit and also published his autobiography. Reflecting his interest in the ladies it featured a smiling Phooey on the front cover, licking his testicles, with the title "One Hump or Two".

Phooey is remembered for scoring one of the best goals of the 1970s in a match between Bolton v Ipswich on 21st April 1979. Having his back to goal at the edge of the 18 yard box, he controlled the ball with his knee, flicked it over his head, turned and volleyed it past the keeper. Unfortunately, at that time, the confused Phooey played for Stockport, and was apprehended by the police what was perceived as a pitch invasion.
