The Book of Joseph, Chapter 1,968
I. It was three score years and eight after the
turning of the century when Joseph of
Ngaruawahia scanned the province and said
to himself “Yonder are players unorganised.
I will organise them like unto other
provinces heretofore organised. I will cause
a gathering of footballers unlike any that
have been conceived. I will call them United,
for so they will be.”
II. The chosen gathered at the behest of their
leader, but invasion of the sports fields was
to be denied to them due to the tardiness of
their preparation.
III. “The morrow will see us take the fields of
glory”, stated Joseph.
IV. And so, two score and nine years since the
round ball was briefly shown the light of day
in the Village, did the Machine of Green
begin its mission on the fields of Wahia Nga
Rua.
