Jinxed Team Needs Keeper
Updated: 11:23, Wednesday August 30, 2006
An unlucky football team has lost 15 goalkeepers in just one year.
The Fighting Cocks got through 13 goalkeepers because of injuries and bust-ups last season.
The players put it down to bad luck, but then saw that luck continue before the new season had even started.
The pub team's two remaining keepers were struck down.
During a pre-season friendly match, one ended up with cracked ribs and a torn kidney. The other pulled a muscle in his back and sprained a wrist.
Team treasurer Steve Skelhorn told the Daily Mirror: "It is unbelievable. Last year was our first season of playing and we got through 13 goalkeepers.
"It seems that everyone who puts the gloves on gets injured."
Injuries suffered last season included a broken leg, a dislocated shoulder and a dislocated finger.
The Sunday League team, based in Gosport, Hants, has appealed for a brave keeper to step forward.

Jesus! That sounds like something out of "The Omen." Has anyone checked the manager's scalp for the tell-tale "666" tattoo?
Speaking of injuries, Boro have just signed Jonathan Woodgate on loan.
DId you see that Rossi has gone to the Toon for a six month loan?
I was hoping he was going to do some stuff fo us this season. Maybe in the new year
Rossi leaving on loan must mean there's an 11th hour surprise in store. Torres? Tevez? ReddiTed back?
Can you beleive that the two Argentine's are going to Upton Park!!! All the papers were saying Arsenal or United were getting them.
Hammers for Champions League???
