TML player Garry Robertson needs your help

At the beginning of January one of our players, Garry Robertson, who many of you will know, was at home when he suddenly collapsed and was taken to hospital and operated on a haemorraghing brain tumour. He is 33, recently married and had no previous signs of trouble. He spent 2 months in a coma but is now conscious and showing signs of improvement and was recently moved out of intensive care in Tokyo and is now at a rehabilitation centre in Yamanashi.
He can now recognise people and make small hand movements etc. but there is an amazingly long way to go and as a club we need to help him. Needless to say the medical costs will mount up – his parents have been out since he collapsed and Brian, his father, has effectively taken early retirement to be with his son. Realistically we could be looking at a year or more of rehabilitation. continue reading…

Fukuda Denshi, Saturday April 21st.

Vags and their amazing technicolored dream boots!

It started with Dan’s boots being only the third most luminous pair on view. A feat never before seen in feet. Masa and Muzzy scared The Living Daylights out of us with their pukely orange contraptions.

Vags arrived far from sure of a victory against a tough and much improved Embassy, the same Embassy who had turned us over 4-0 in the first meeting of the season I might add, but won’t because it was painful. continue reading…

Blakey the Rover

BFC Vagabonds 1 Lions 1
Fukuda Denshi, Sunday April 1st.

The new Vags away kit...skins, boxers and socks!

This tune was composed for Blakey the Rover
As valiant a man as ever left home
And he had been much reduced
Which caused great confusion
And that was the reason he started to roam

In Hatchobori near Tokyo, he had been on the ramble
Weary of traveling, he sat down to rest
By the foot of yon Ministop
Lay a shelf of sustenance
With onigiri and pocari he himself did refresh continue reading…
