FOOTBALL EXPRESSION

This week’s English for football expression is ’sleeping giant’ which means that someone or something has not yet demonstrated the full extent of its powers. In football we often use this phrase to refer to a big club that maybe has not performed as well as it used to do but has lots of potential to do so again in the future. This week, Alex Ferguson, the Manchester United manager called Wolves a sleeping giant because it used to be the top team in England in the 1950s and after some years in the lower divisions is slowly recovering though not yet to its former glory. Sleeping giant.
