PIC: Has this Leicester fan come up with the greatest way to get a day off work?

Celebrating Cambiasso the right way

Bill Shankly said “Some people believe football is a matter of life and death, I am very disappointed with that attitude. I can assure you it is much, much more important than that.”

And the beautiful game truly is close to religion status in the minds of hardcore fans.

This innovative Leicester fan attempted to convince his bosses that his religion “Cambiasso” made it necessary for him to take a day away from the slog of office life.

And the non-researching buffoons in HR lapped it up, feigning curiosity as they looked to appear as accepting as humanly possible.

Perhaps the best element of the correspondence came with Andy Dawson’s reply as he filled in the history of the religious group “Cambiasso” which mirrors the career of Leicester’s beloved midfielder who, to be fair, has reached Godlike status at the King Power Stadium.
