Imagine pushing Andy Fordham up Primrose Hill with one arm tied behind your back and you will have some idea of the effort requited for 3 men to overcome 4 in a sixty minute football match.
For a while it looked like Sisyphus was winning out as the three men (Ben, Yusuf and Martin) took a 6-4 lead.
Ben covered the park notching up more miles run than Flamini, and let fly shots reminiscent of Xavi Alonso on steroids, whilst Yusuf made darting runs, and regularly found space to strike fear into the opposition, and Martin proved effective in defence and attack, defending with the determination and effectiveness of Stuart Pearce and attacking with the vision and precision of Glenn Hoddle.
Nevertheless, the four men came back, showing courage and determination. Paul and Luke operated like Johnny Giles and Billy Bremner. They were the engine room that broke down the opposition and kickstarted the attacks; but man of the match must go to Andrew, who used his speed and flair to regularly beat the opposition whether it be with a clever dribble or a crafty pass. It was like watching Cryff and Van Basten rolled into one.
Their efforts were enough for the four men to win through.
