Worthing 1999

On a cold, wet Easter weekend in 1999, The Sumpsons took Worthing by storm. Attempting to beat the record for "most frequent vomiting in a 4 day period" they set about the beer with aplomb as soon as they arrived.

Here, in pictorial form, is the story of their weekend.

A goalkeeper (either Newman (Homer) or Loveless (Maggie)) attempts to stop a goalbound strike. First time for everything I suppose...

Ben Putt (Smithers) attempts to round the Tallest Keeper In The World.

The Sumpson's slowly notice that someone's blown the push back whistle, but unfortunately no-one's actually got the energy to stand up.

Ball Control Practise 4.4i - Attempt to keep the ball as close to the end of the stick as possible while running at speed.

Your illustrious webmaster (Barney) prepares to unleash his buttocks on the world.

Us all. Clockwise from far left, Pete "Barney" Cox, Nik "Apu" Patel, Martin "Nelson" Hannant, Dave "??" Jackson, Martin "Ralph" Rosher, Paul "Homer" Newman, Luke "Otto" Knight, PJ "Mr. Burns" Jones, Ben "Smithers" Putt, Mike "Maggie" Loveless, Steve "Snake" Quinn, Nathan "Willy" O'Brian and Mike "Milhouse" Foulds.

Mike "Maggie" Loveless makes a valiant (and ultimately successful) attempt to stop a keeper from scoring.
