KING POWER !
I’ve got an idea for a new fiction novel – the skeleton of England’s last monarch to die in battle is found buried under an old car park. The remains are exhumed and eventually reburied with honours in the City’s cathedral. The Cathedral is about a mile from the ground of the local football team. At the time the city’s only football club is in serious trouble – hopelessly stranded at the bottom of the league and looking to be deposed from the upper echelons.
Then, something astonishing happens: after more than 500 years of ignominy, the pugnacious spirit of the old king arises to give the inspiration to fight one more battle.
The football club pile on win after win - and fighting to the end – they survive. In the following campaign, the football club goes on to win the Premier League, and they are crowned Champions of England for the first time in their long history.
No - you are right; it could never happen – I should write about something a little less far fetched.
