Justin Mc disillusioned with the talent Limerick has to offer went looking for new talent in war-torn Fallejuah in Iraq. Hoping that maybe someone had taught an illegitimate son a bit of stick work he spotted an unlikely game of hurling one day in the market place. Spotting an amazing talent he resolves to take him to Ireland to play for Limerick. The youngster, dying to get out of his horrible existence, agrees.
In the All Ireland semi final Limerick are playing Tipperary and Justin's newest recruit is playing. At 15 points each going into the last minute of the game the ball drops to Saddam who runs past 3 Tipp players to score the winning goal. Soon after there are wild celebrations as Limerick celebrate their win. Saddam is hailed as a hero and invited by the manager to guzzle back champagne back in the dressing room with the rest of the team. But before doing this, Saddam insists that he be able to ring his mother at home to tell her the good news.On the phone to his mother, he says "Guess what mum, you won't believe what happened here today, we won the game and I scored the winning goal and I'm a hero....."His mother interrupts ".....you selfish bastard", she says "you are always thinking of yourself. Do you have any idea what happened to us today. Your father has been killed, your sister was taken away from us gang raped, and our house has been burnt to the ground!"."But Mum, your not being fair. You're acting as if all this was my fault", says Saddam.You're damn right it is", she replies. "It was your idea for us to move to Limerick....!!!"
