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.

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.
