I was about 10, my nextdoor neighbours big brother (15) was making names up for a football team on the playstation.
He named one of them 'Hugh Jass' and I thought 'Hugh Jass' was a real football player.
It was only when I asked my dad a few days later "Which team does Hugh Jass play for dad?" That I realised he had meant it to sound like HUGE ASS!
I always laugh at that,
Thankyou so very much joe!!
