Schmetzer ancestor was German Referee shock

The tennis world of Magdalen Park was rocked by the revelation that an alleged forebear of tennis talent Paulo Schmetzer was none other than German referee Emil Schmetzer, who officiated at a World Cup game in Swizterland (yes, Switzerland) in 1954. In that game, according to the records, England went into the lead after 91 mins, only to see the Belgians nick a draw via a last-minute own goal under questionable circumstances.

Magdalen Park is reviewing Mr. Schmetzer's membership. "We will stand by Paulo," said Vth team Skipper Willcocks. "His commitment is immaculate and we don't care where he comes from. Where does he come from, anyway?"

Paulo cannot spell Urs Meier.
