The Best is Back After a few AWOL weeks, when poor old Babs was left scowering the countryside looking for her blue eyed boy, a 10.15 wake up call from Pazza reminded the washed up genius that there is football to be played of a Sunday morn!! Richmond Turf made the long trek a couple of players down, so the ko was delayed to allow a full contingent to be obtained. This aided the hibs, and Best had a few more valuable minutes to focus, it also allowed JT time to finish sautéing his squid and get up to broughton park. B Park was not the perfect surface which we are used too and someone has managed to make even Pazza's lines look straight with some amateurish whitelinemanship. All of these were nothing that would cause old Peaky to get flustered with as he puffed away with his pre-match woodbine and got the game underway. Turf started brightly and passed the ball around very nicely and opened the scoring after 10 mins. This was short lived as a long free kick caught the Turf defence napping and Bestie beat the keeper to the ball and headed home. Tim The Toolman Taylor was looking lively upfront and forced the keeper to make a last ditch save with his feet as he rounded him. Turf were back in front when Peaky adjudged the ball to cross the line before Mushy could stop it, a harsh decision from his positioning, but to be fair we have had the benefit of a few on the line decisions recently!! 1-2 HT. Hibs started to get on top in the second half and always looked dangerous against a flat Turf defence. JT was causing mischief down the left and there was a bit of handbags, which messers Pazza, Smudger and DLF soon dealt with, Stoz smashed the resultant freekick against the bar from 25yards. Hibs drew level through bests' brace, and the mis-heading Hanks (suffering after his down the town antics the nite before), slotted home a cross from the left to make it 3-2, a forward roll, air snatch combo goal celebration won't be troubling TTTT, on the ruby slipper front (but worth a nomination). With a few minutes left on the clock, the hibs made it 4-2, when TTTT beat LL (Loverboy Lloyd) to the ball in a 3 on 1 attack. The usual prolific striker managed to hit the defender on the line from 6 yards, but the ball rebounded to best, who at which point was almost sober, slotted home for his hat-trick. With the game safe and only a minute to go, we thought it wouldn't hurt to give our celebrity Leo Slayer a run out, he declined the opportunity thinking we were only after his biffter, would we be so tight - surely not!!
