Strangest rumour ever

Harvey Esajas, defender played in Holland for Cambuur, FC Groningen and Dordrecht'90 and in Spain for the amateur club Mostoles.

He stopped playing 4 years ago and started working for a circus as a tentbuilder.

End of career, obviously. But no, now entering the story is Clarence Seedorf. Midfielder of AC Milan. And a friend of Harvey.
Apparently Seedorf asked Harvey to come over to the Milan training ground. He did so, Milan needed a defender for a training match, and Seedorf suggests his old friend Harvey.
So Harvey gets a pair of boots and a kit and starts playing. With Cafu, Nesta, Maldini as fellow defenders against Sheva, Inzaghi, Tomasson etc.
AND HE IMPRESSED ANCELOTTI!!!!!!
Ancelotti asked him to stay a little longer, and after a month (and losing 12 kilogram) he was given a 1 year contract.
This apparently happened this week. Harvey supposedly signed his contract yesterday. I have not seen pictures of it, but I do have a dutch link. http://www.voetbalzone.nl/doc.asp?id=13088.

Any stranger transfer (rumours) than this???

Wasn't there a "relative" of George Weah or someone like that who was bought sight-unseen by Soton, played 30 minutes, was crap and never played again? That's pretty strange.

The Eah cousin i thibk lied about his football history, he was about as good as you or me. Came on as a sub and was then substituted!!! since then people have been very weary of buying on the back of a big name or hearsay!!!

Wasn't there a story once where this player was playing beach soccer and was spotted by some Arsenal scout. I think his name was Yappo or something like that.

What about Becks a scout saw him kick a can that was lying on the ground and the united scout said wow that kid has talent. Put him in the squad and the rest is history.

You kind of never leave Arsenal. How many comebacks do you make? At one point it will turn out to be a bad move. We all love the first Rocky but I'm not too sure about the last one.
