Final sqaud member announced

With only 1 day remaining until the Brockwell 49ers embark on their very own Tour De France, a new squad member announced he would be joining the fun train.

Imagine if you will a giant East German laboratory … its sole purpose, to blend together the best elements of mankind to produce the ultimate athlete who, competing under the name Jorgen, would astound the world at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics by taking Gold in the Rhythmic Gymnastics.

Well, now imagine if this, by now derelict laboratory, had been re-discovered by some wayward revellers who after having a wonderful time at Berlin’s world renowned Love Parade, stumbled across our lab and decided that they would use it's facilities for good … and good alone. They would create the world’s prettiest and campest prancing manhorse.

Using DNA from Dale Winton, John Barrowman, Tom Cruise, and some hair from the mane of an Andalucian dancing horse, our ‘scientists’ unleashed their first hybrid-man-dancing-stallion-man. The first of what they hoped was to be a long line of man-dancing-stallion-men, they decided to name their beautiful creation Adam and let him run free across the plains of Europe … and perhaps beyond.

Adam ‘the prancing stallion’ Brichto was discovered by James ‘the hoarse whisperer’ in 1995 on the side of an Andean plateau. Astounded by his beauty, James convinced Adam to return with him to the shores of Great Britainia. And thank god he did.

Adam astounded both fans and players alike with his 49ers debut back in July. Gracing, and at time grazing, the field in what can best be described as a homage to Alan Partridge’s ‘sports casual’ look, Adam’s guile and cunning in the field resulted in many, many runs being saved (3).

It was however highly individual bowling technique that really burned into ones memory. ‘Like watching Riverdance … only with horses and less Irish people’ is how one spectator described Adam’s moves.

Adam … oh one of first creation … we welcome you with open arms and hope that you can re-create the magical times you gave us all those weeks ago. When the ball is tossed to you on France’s fair fields, unleash thy inner equine desires and prance Adam … prance like the wind.

TO FRANCE!
