After drawing 0-0 with the league leaders, who’d previously scored 28 in 7, the defence was always going to figure highly in the week’s awards.
The bus was firmly and comprehensively “parked”.
For “Man of the Match”, Jindy took third place with a vote and in second was Stewart with 2 votes. However, first was a three-way tie between last week’s winner Walter, right back Pat and centre back Aleks.
For “Henri Leconte”, there was a vote for Jindy for, “skiving out of the nets by wrestling a couple of corner flags of notorious net erection-evader James”. First time Jindy has ever “evaded an erection”.
The referee also received his customary vote, as too Jade, this time for “breaking his crutches”. Not too sure whether this happened or is a euphemism for something which might happen in the Clapham Common bushes.
However, receiving 7 votes (including voting for himself) was Walter, who decided to leave it to the last possible moment to arrive at the pitch for kick-off. Leaving the rest of us shitting ourselves, some of us literally. And I might add, once arrived decided to discuss how late he was with the watching Don rather than getting changed and in goal.
