Albion went down 4-3 despite putting in a spirited display and fighting back from 4-1.
“Ya Beauty”
Man of the match saw Harry and Duncan in joint third with a vote each and Walter in second place with 2 votes, Walter in particular deserves special mention for keeping the score respectable during a spell of nightmarish defending.
However, the winner was Charlie Baxendale with 5 votes and 2 goals topping off a great game leading the line with Harry.
There were a multitude of random votes for a range of oddities in this week’s Henri Leconte. Including Nick Milne for revealing that he finds Rebel Wilson “super-hotâ€, Will Slater for an un-PC pre-game comment (think Jade Barker circa 2011), Luke for bringing a pair of crusty concrete reinforced boots and finally Will Slater again for increasing the average speed of Sunday League wingers since coming out of retirement.
The winner reminded us all of the bag scene from American Beauty, Harry Carlile stepped up to take a free kick to see a stray black bin bag dancing mysteriously in the goal.
Harry had this to say, “It was one of those days when it’s a minute away from snowing and there’s this electricity in the air, you can almost hear it. Right? And this bag was just dancing with me. Like a little kid begging me to play with it. For fifteen minutes. That’s the day I realized that there was this entire life behind things, and this incredibly benevolent force that wanted me to know there was no reason to be afraid, ever. So I stepped up and banged the fucker into the bottom left corner. Ya beauty!â€
