Fabio Cannavaro, Frank Lampard and Thierry Henry were travelling around Africa on holiday. Upon arrival in a village the locals greeted the three of them cheerily and took them to meet the tribe elder.
The three players waited nervously outside the elder’s dwelling. Fabio Canavarro was called in first and stood in front of the elder. “Fabio Canavarro” stated the elder, “I present you with a rock from a nearby hill. This represents the defensive solidity and durable spirit of the central defender.” Fabio Cannavaro said “Thank you” as he accepted the gift and left the dwelling.
Next to enter was Frank Lampard. “Frank Lampard” stated the elder, “I present you with sand from the nearby desert. This represents the grit and granular omnipresence of the box-to-box midfielder.” Frank Lampard said “Thank you” as he accepted the gift and left the dwelling.
The last to enter was Thierry Henry. “Thierry Henry” stated the elder, “I present you with…”
…a cake.”
