Two friends Rob and Paul were two of the biggest football fans in England.

Their entire adult lives, Rob and Paul discussed football history, and they pored over all the statistics. They went to all of the matches. They even agreed that whoever died first would try to come back and tell the other if there was football in heaven.

One summer night, Rob passed away in his sleep after watching a Manchester United victory earlier in the evening. He died happy. A few nights later, his buddy Paul awoke to the sound of Rob's voice from beyond.

"Rob, is that you?" Paul asked.

"Of course it me," Rob replied.

"This is unbelievable!" Paul exclaimed. "So tell me, is there football in heaven?"

"Well, I have some good news and some bad news for you. Which do you want to hear first?"

"Tell me the good news first."

"Well, the good news is that yes there's football in heaven, Paul."

"Oh, that is wonderful! So what could possibly be the bad news?"

"You're playing tomorrow night!"
