Listen here: Make a Comeback.mp3
This week’s football phrase is ‘to make a comeback’ which is not normally connected to football but last weekend saw two former Premier League stars return to play for their old clubs: they have made a comeback. On Sunday in the Manchester derby Paul Scholes surprised everybody when he was named on the Manchester United bench in the FA Cup tie against rivals Manchester City. The following day, in the same competition, former Arsenal striker Thierry Henry came off the bench to score the winning goal for Arsenal on his return to the club he had served so well. Indeed, both players made winning starts to their comebacks. To make a comeback.
