Saints 2037 and The Great man

[KB]

Not sure if this has been posted before or where it came from or who to give the credit to, it was forwarded in an email to me. Gave me a bit of a chuckle.
Thought i'd share it.
P.S. If only the Great man could play on that long!!!
Hope we dont have to wait that till then for our second Premiership!!
Cheers
