COMMENTS:
 
After bringing up his son (The Jew) and finally setting him free into the cruel world of senior football, G-Funk decided that after years of watching him, he'd have a go at playing himself. At 1st this seemed like a scheme to drum up custom for his shop, which is just a few doors down from the clubs headquarters, but how very wrong we were. Arguably the most dedicated trainer at the club, always looking to strengthen his game, and he refuses to give Tom an inch on his challenging runs, much to the club captains annoyance. In his 1st season, G-Funk took any minutes on the pitch wherever he could before eventually developing into a full back. After improving his throw ins, G-Funk has gone from strength to strength in this position. Great stamina, brave, looks to get beyond his winger and it wouldn't be a proper game without G-Funk winding up the opposition.
 
It's a shame work commitments have got in the way of G-Funks football, but he's guaranteed to be there every training session and every couple of Saturdays after his good luck bowl of porridge. He occasionally has a quick pint at the Hotel before shooting off to his shop duties on a Saturday Night. Hopefully we'll get him drinking more often, maybe even tour, as he proved to be a revelation on his recent night out in Cardiff celebrating The Jews 18th.
