    Gerry Queen played for Crystal Palace in the sixties. When he was sent off in one match the following headline appeared in The News of the World, I think.

    Queen involved in fight at Palace

    Unfortunately, it wasn't heavy enough to sink Guernsey!

    I remember quite a while back a story covered by the Sun newspaper, about an Afro-Caribbean bar worker who was suing his employer for unfair dismissal, the opening few words of the article were, "A black bar steward....."

    Only in the Sun!

    The best (and most contrived) newspaper headline joke is as follows...

    It is the grand final of the Europen fish eating competition.

    Fife from Scotland is up against Sven from Sweden. It is a very close contest. Disaster strikes as Fife loses a molar early in the match. Luckily the competition insurance covers his dental work. Sven, despite a severe dose of gastro-enteritis nearly makes double figures to win the match and contest.

    The newspaper headline read....

    'One tooth free for Fife. Sick Sven ate nine Tench'.

    I thang ewe.
