Badge of the week ~ Al Hussein Sports Club, Jordan
Al Hussein Sports Club came into existence after their founder, a share fisherman, was hypnotised by a storm petrel. Khalid Hussan, later to become first club president, was having a cigarette on deck in the dead of night when the diminutive bird alighted on the boat railing and cocked a gleaming eye his way. Lost in his own reverie – in his own words he was wondering at the time how to dry plates while his wife washed up without looking inadequate – Hussan paid no heed to the bird at first, but then realised he had been staring into its beady eye for several minutes.
