STATTO’S STRANGE WORLD OF FOOTBALL FACTS No.1
The game between Darwen and Sheffield United in 1895 was abandoned after just two minutes when Fatty Foulke, the twenty-two stone Blades goalkeeper, farted and blew down the goalposts.
‘Oh Ballfrocks!’ Statto gasped. He hated jumbling up facts. Unlike the fans who witnessed Fatty Foulke’s fart, he took a very deep breath and had another bash.
STATTO’S STRANGE WORLD OF FOOTBALL FACTS No.1 (Correction)
Fatty Foulke, the Sheffield United goalkeeper, weighed twenty-two stone. In 1905 he parted company with the Blades and joined Chelsea.
The game between Darwen and Leicester Fosse in 1895 was abandoned after just two minutes when a gale blew down the goalposts.

It needed to be playing out of its skin now for his new team were losing. They had lost every game since entering the Premhairy League, the greatest animal pawball league in the world, although Italian cats, poodles or long-haired hamsters might argue that their own Serie Animal, Serie Beast and Serie Creature were superior. But whatever the arguments, there was no disputing the fact that the Scrappurrs fate was now in Statto’s hands.
