The legendary battle between the over-grown Philistine warrior Goliath
and the humble shepherd boy David is an archetype which has resonance
well beyond the Old Testament account. Whenever a lower division
football club thwarts a premier squad in a giant-slaying encounter it is
celebrated as a 'David and Goliath' event. The defiant courage of the
underdog appeals to our deep-seated emotional need to witness the
powerless turning the tables, for once, on the powerful.
