The dreaming spires – and the perspiring dreams of the Tornados. The second in a long list of tours where too much drink was taken, a fact that was all too sadly reflected in the sobering results against the young eggheads, fops, dandies and bucktoothed bumboys of Robinson and Jesus.
Also famous for the last-minute appearance of the Wizened Ninja Warrior on a motorbike that was held together with a flattened-out can of coke (not the sort of coke he usually likes, eh chaps? Arf!)
Steve Walford replaced Mal in goal, while Slug and Wormer were called up for the first time; ditto Dave ‘Here We Go’ Asseio, who foolishly brought along his girlfriend (she was probably not his girlfriend for much longer after that). Charlie was playing for the opposition and treacherously advised them to target the Tornados full-backs who, even in their mid-twenties, were no threat to Usain Bolt… Snail’s mate Richard Howarth was captain of Jesus.
And hurrah for poor old Mrs Tombo, her establishment witness to Nick Jenn and Dacon Bodiddly bursting through the fire escape hatch to terrify the snoring skipper, Cod folded up in a bed – and the birth of Upside Down Dwarf Wrestling! Surely it will soon be an Olympic sport.
