FC Brickstand, nicknamed the Builders, play in the Buildersliga. Their opponents include Blocks County, Inter Locking, Bricklayers United, AFC Makersfield, Clickon North End, Brixeter and Blockport County. If you’ve not guessed already, the Builders are a LEGO team, and the imagination of someone with a lot of time on their hands. Good on them. You can find out more on their website: fcbrickstand.com Pictured is their new irrigation system.
Living the dream in Shropshire! The Bull In The Barne won the services of Carlos now 48 in a ‘dream transfer raffle’ on eBay meaning he would appear as a substitute at one of their Shrewsbury & District games in February.
Suspicious activity at Medina!
“You pay £5 to enter the raffle for a chance to have a pro sign for your team. One of our lads said in a group chat ‘let’s just give it a go’ and we ended up winning it,” striker and club secretary Matthew Brown told BBC Radio Shropshire.
Roberto Carlos’ brilliant, swerving freekick for Brazil against France in 1997 is one of the most memorable goals in the history of football. It’s no wonder then that a pub team in Shropshire could hardly believe it when they learned the World Cupwinning fullback will play for them in a Sunday league match.
“On Friday afternoon, our manager, Ed Speller, sent a message to say we won the competition and none of us believed him. We thought he was having us on.” “I went out on Friday night and woke up with a bit of a sore head on Saturday and I had messages from people saying ‘is it true about Roberto Carlos?’ and at that point I was thinking ‘it can't have happened, it’s just a dream’.”
A bad day at the office!
Pillow talk! Pillow fighting has been turned into a professional combat sport as athletes competed in the ring in Florida. The Pillow Fight Championships took place in Miami on 29 January, where sixteen men and eight women fought for the two titles. Each winner earned a title belt and $5000. Commentary was typical ‘overblown’ American à la WWF. There’s a video on the BBC Sports website should you feel the need.
