In a scene reminiscent of many an A-Team episode, when no matter how many bullets were red or cars exploded, no would get killed, West Ham death cheater Ogbonna has spoken about the time he fell asleep at the wheel, drove off a bridge, span 50 times, fell four metres into a river, then emerged unscathed scratching his head saying “dear oh dear, what av I darn?”.
OK we made up the bit with the Cockney accent. And the spinning 50 times bit. But the rest is true, and no less remarkable for it. “I’m lucky to be alive,” he said of the incident, which happened in Turin eight years ago. “I was in hospital for two weeks, but it could have been much worse.”
And in a bizarre twist, the Cockney accent bit might actually be true after all. Apparently the Italian is taking rhyming slang lessons.
“They say something about a steep step and a pair,” he said. “What is that? Oh yes, apples and pears. It’s very confusing. Cockney slang is very difficult, but it makes understanding English much easier.”
Would you Adam and Eve it?
