Name: Pistol Pete
Age: Very Old
Position: Defensive Midfield Striker
Currently holed away in an exclusive high altitude rehabilitation centre, some may have feared they had seen the last of the silver fox.
After some early promising appearances in the UK in the late 80's/early 90's, Pistol Pete was forced to flee the country in a non-football related scandal, and headed for the purest convict colony of them all, Australia. After 6 years in exile, and as a stalwart of the Gladesville RSL defence, he headed back to the UK with a quick one year contractual stopover in the USA.
This was to be the start of a dream 7-a-side career, leading a team to the final and victory in his local tournament. Unfortuntely, he was so excited that he threw his arms in the air, dislocated his shoulder and ended up in the local hospital having it relocated under general anaesthetic. (After handing out the trophies) Aganst all advice, he then drove home wearing only a backless hospital gown, football boots and shin pads.
On his return, and post-shoulder reattachment, Pistol Pete eventually was brought into the WNSS fold, and subsequently to the mighty WNSS 7-a-side team. Best known for a turn of speed that belies his slim athleticism (Very similar to a Russian oil tanker), and a propensity for shouting at Flames for no apparrent reason. A steady player, prone to the occasional misguided action, including splitting the lip of a meathead form Frank's Paving, slapping the fat guy from Lostock 1892, and most recently giving away an undeserved penalty.
Hopefully this latest injury setback will not be the final curtain on an illustrious and infamous career........
