Will Slater : Albion Legend<\/p><\/div>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153The Ginger Prince\u00e2\u20ac\u009d is retiring to focus on his Exploding Helicopter site<\/a>, drone music and all things brown.<\/p>\n

Slater spent over 15 years trudging through the pitches of Clapham Common picking up several pieces of \u00e2\u20ac\u0153plasticware\u00e2\u20ac\u009d along the way, including \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Players Player\u00e2\u20ac\u009d and a league medal. Slater will go down in Southern Sunday League history as being the highest scoring left back in league history with 5 own goals to his name and an infamous back post equaliser against Southbank FC.<\/p>\n

Albion legend Vilem Palac recently spoke of Slater, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153He\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a f*cking sausage muncher, innit. He should have switched iiiit more\u00e2\u20ac\u009d.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Big Ron\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Atkinson had this to say, “Tell you what Clive, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve seen quite a lot of good ginger left backs in my time but he just might be the best. Throws it further than I go on holiday, always looks to give it the full gun towards the second post and isn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t afraid to pull out a lollipop when he needs to.”<\/p>\n

Adding, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Will Slater??!? Never heard of him Clive, I thought we were talking about David Burrows\u00e2\u20ac\u009d.<\/p>\n

In true Slater style, Will refused to comment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
