NEWS FROM THE MAN V FAT FOOTBALL LEAGUES
Ian in a Tutu
Since joining MAN v FAT Football in July 2016, it has been plain sailing for Weston league player Ian – that is until he had his first ever weight gain last week, resulting in him having to abide by his teams’ forfeit for when a player puts weight on. Ian, who had evaded the sanction for ten months, lost a bit of his dignity when he had to dress up in a ballerina tutu. We would love to hear about all of the wacky and crazy forfeits you have encountered whilst playing MAN v FAT Football.
