IT’S BETTER TO BURN OUT THAN TO FADE AWAY
All of world football, WSFFL Co-ordinator Central included, has been saddened by the death of the one and only George Best, who passed away last Friday of multiple organ failure after a lengthy illness, aged 59. As with so many geniuses, his talent came at a price, the demon drink finally catching up with him and contributing to his untimely demise. However, we should all remember him in his pomp, as pictured left, gliding effortlessly down the wing in the red of Manchester United, a shooting star shining twice as bright but half as long.
Rest in peace, George Best.
YOU SCUMBAG, YOU MAGGOT, YOU CHEAP LOUSY FAGGOT
While Final Fantasy XI boss Ceri was off-duty delivering Swindon’s newest Robyn (see “Shorts” for more info), that absolute bounder Sheriff took full advantage by shredding Ceri’s team 5-0. Goals from Lampard, Sun Jihai, Ridgewell, Ferreira and a first for “The Duke”, Nathan Ellington, came tumbling out of the can of whoop-ass opened up by that dastardly fiend Sheriff, to send Boston Rock FC back to top spot in the league. This also came courtesy of Claymore Athletic FC’s 2-1 win over previous leaders Trusted By Millions, goals from Claymores’ twin terrors Rooney and Henry putting Beef’s recent good run to the, ahem, sword.
Real Muppets continue their own impressive recent run by beating San Dimas 3-2, with goals from Viduka, Cygan and the returning Gary Neville, to lift themselves to 3rd. Fred West, previous 3rd place incumbents, slip down to 4th following a 3-1 reverse by Thommo’s Titans. Van Persie and McBride (2) goals give Pete an impressive win, which nets him the POTW half a million. Well done Thommo!
Eleven Imaginary Boys are back on the right track to 5th, as they overcome the Dead Parrots 2-1, featuring big Summer signing Edgar Davids’ first goal for Prov. Claymore’s win lifts the defending Champions ominously into 6th slot, only 8 points off the pace at this early stage.
York’s Returning Glory remain in the basement slot following a 2-0 defeat by Prettier Than You, goals from N’Gotty and Aaron Hughes ending Rachel’s recent rocky run. Mega Buck Bandits win the other basement battle, leaving the 22 Legged Groove Machine in 15th place with a 2-1 win. And finally, Aardvark Abacus resist a brave late charge from Nil Satis to hold out for a 3-2 win, late goals from O’Shea and Yobo ultimately proving futile for Paul’s team.

THE FF£100,000 QUESTION
Which English football team did George Best support as a boy?
Answers to me by close of play Saturday 3 December 2005. As usual, first correct one out of the metaphorical hat gets the dosh.
Chelsea has registered the most 1-0 victories in the history of the Premiership, with 67. Manchester United are next up with 64; Arsenal are 3rd with 60. Just out of interest, Southampton have been on the receiving end of most 1-0 games - with 58 losses by the single goal scored.
THE FF£100,000 QUESTION (continued)
One correct reply from Clive, so the £100,000 cash goes to Claymore Athletic FC. Well done Clive-lad!
Wrong ‘uns from Peej (Manchester United), Ryan (Everton) and Rachel (Liverpool). No-one went for what I thought was the most obvious one, namely Arsenal.
SHORTS
· Just in case you didn’t get the full skinny from my mention earlier on; Final Fantasy XI boss Ceri gave birth to a healthy baby girl last Wednesday 23rd at 3 a.m.. The new arrival weighs in at 5lb 4oz and is called Robyn Lily, no doubt reflecting Ceri and dad Dave’s STFC and Swindon Robins’ speedway interest. WSFFL Co-ordinator Central would like to offer its’ heartiest congratulations to Ceri and Mega Buck boss Dave, particularly with Robyn being the first Bevan to arrive on time…!
· One arrival, one departure; Nil Satis Nisi Optimum boss Paul Saleh has ensured another lengthy away trip for WSFFL bosses by moving his team and family to Bridgewater. This is a work-related relocation, and I understand that, happily, Paul still intends to continue in WSFFL. I’ll send out Paul’s new e-mail details as soon as he furnishes me with them.
· There may be a few unbeaten records in this short (for WSFFL, anyway) November, but to my mind the most impressive was that of Mega Buck Bandits. Bottom and winless at the outset of the month, Dave’s team put together an unbeaten November, including 2 wins and a creditable draw against San Dimas, to lift himself to 14th place. For his efforts, Dave Bevan of Mega Buck Bandits wins the November 2005 Manager of the Month £250,000. New dad too. Not a bad month, all in all, MC lad!
