Team sheet anagrams

That is indeed magnificent - well spotted!!!!

 

 

I didn't really want a post so early in my otib career to show me up as a pedant...

 

but I wanted to see how many people will have replied to point out it's an acrostic rather than an anagram between me posting this and getting mod approval for it to go up. And how stupid it would make me look!

 

Perhaps I'll just go back to looking not posting...

When I was posting the thread I thought "It's not really an anagram but I can't think of the damn word for what it is" and so just went with anagram. ;)

I always like a team that plays in purple and green.

Here's their goalkeeper shirt; issued to mark the 27th anniversary of George Best's appearance on Wogan.

And if only Streatham Rovers were real 

Was wondering when someone was going to say it! It's not a real non-league football club, although they've produced a real shirt, it's completely made up, their Twitter feed for a number of years has been a work of epic satire, very dark humour and relentless trolling, they regularly try to get real footballing figures or the media to pick up on their stories, looks like they've hit the jackpot this time (I see this story was on Have I Got News For You too). If it's new to you, just go and read all the fine history of The Bill's Tosh Lines relationship with the club (he is named Taff Goose and is their manager).

Sony comment below, made in complete ignorance, was close to the truth!

Looking at the names of some of the Streatham players, are we sure they aren't taking the piss too?
