Bio: When Mr and Mrs Crisp celebrated their union, little could have prepared them for a birth which left doctors mystified, midwives fascinated and youthful interns more than a little excited. A few old hands around the hospital still talk about the day a baby was born … with gloves on his hands.
Fast forward 16 years, the boy has started to become a man. Rejected by his peers, ridiculed for his monstrous fingertips, like Edward Scissorhands, Crisp battles through life, struggling to understand his kismet. Until, one day, he stands between some posts, and someone, perhaps destiny himself, aims a shot for the top corner.
Forward another 12 years and the man has reached his pinnacle, playing for The People’s Team amongst individuals whose fates are similarly entwined. They play, they win, it’s what they do.
Strengths: Long shots, short shots, high shots, low shots.
Weaknesses: Slow shitty shots, arse deflections.
Style: Bendy.
Quotes: [shortly before conceding] “Let’s keep a clean sheet!”
Football Heroes: The Cat. Zubizaretta. Zoff.
Interesting Fact: Invited to trials for Hull City but decided to concentrate on legal career. What a flaming awesome decision.
