Diplomacy on the pitch

Jim Murphy with British Embassy Sarajevo football team (in red)

Last night, at Sarajevo's Skenderija sports centre, I had one of the more light hearted moments of my time in BiH. I played in a football match between the British Embassy and local politicians and diplomats.

I had hoped for a diplomatic draw but we lost 4-3 in a competitive match. It was unusual in another way for me too - I injured my knee ligaments in a bruising tackle from a member of my own team! Anyway, thanks to everyone who helped organise it and played and supported (and a special thank you to the BiH doctor who treated me after the game!).
