A man’s actual head was mistaken for the FA Cup recently after he was left seriously deformed due to a drunken fight.
Andrew McRae had been drinking at his local pub in Marnhull, Dorset, when trusted regular Phil Miller came in, already visibly drunk. According to reports Phil asked the barman where he got his FA Cup copy and started to admire its realistic features.
Unfortunately Phil was mistaken, and he was actually talking about Andrew’s head. Instead of getting angry, apparently Andrew simply said:
That’s not the FA Cup. That’s my head.

To be fair his head does proper look like a similar shape to the cup. The reason it was so misshapen was because earlier that week in the same pub Andrew got caught up in a boozy brawl over the last packet of pork scratchings. I’m sure we’ve all found ourselves in similar situations before.
The reports don’t state much happened after his head was mistaken for the cup, although it’s suggested that everyone carried on with their evening as normal, although Andrew had taken a serious knock to his self-esteem. Poor guy – hopefully his head goes back to a normal shape soon.
