On the eve of the new Superliga season, Melchester Rovers proudly unveil their team shirt
After much speculation, Rovers have finally showed their colours for the 2009/10 campaign. Director of Football Roy Race effused, "We are delighted to recall the heady days of the 80's, whilst also embracing modern manufacturing techniques to produce a shirt that synergises fictional past glories with our very real targets for future success."
Whilst emulating the 80's - when Rovers fielded such star names as Emlyn Hughes and Bob Wilson, not to mention two blokes from pop idols Spandau Ballet - will be a mammoth undertaking, the 2009 squad already brings echoes of the past, lining up with an ex-Nuneatonboroughshire legend in midfield, and two of Czech Republic's top DJs bolstering an already impressive list of international stars.
In other key news, Rovers are delighted, invigorated and relieved to welcome their new keeper, Petr "The Cat" Kropacek, as well as last minute transfer from IBM, Julian, the first ever Romanian Rover. And it's eyes to the skies as we wait with baited breath for 10 pairs of socks to be air lifted to Moravia.
First match next Wednesday, Srbska, k.o. 1630 (that's 4.30pm, American soccerball lovers).
Pretty bloody smart, eh?
