I want to tell you about a game my brothers, sisters, cousins and my aunts used to play. It all began when we brought 500 Corinthian football figures. Fabuland and the Corinthian Football League consumed our lives and our playroom for 8 years. These large headed clay footballers became the natives of a kingdom called Fabuland. Fabuland is a kingdom nearby the Lego kingdom (they played in internationals) which revolved around the Mushroom Cup. The football league stretched to three divisions and plenty of teams.

The big four teams were:

Will United - managed by Alex Fergerson who was a troll in green dungarees this team was never once relegated and won the league nearly every season.

Kates Gunners - managed by a Matthew Letissier with added facial hair and re named Mark Boo. The team was selected on the virtue of ponytails and moustaches. Emmanuel Petit and Del Piero were firm favourites. Kates Gunners also sold David Beckham to Will United for a record amount.

MP Sports - managed by a monkey called Monkey Man and the hammie Mashi Yaka. The team famously lived in a cowshed and Ruud Gullit was always on the toilet.

Tom Rovers  - managed by several managers, inconsistency and unpopularity were their only consistencies.  A microchipped Brian Little once threw Mark Boo across the room breaking his head.

Other teams that featured:

Duplo Duos - The very sturdy duplo men were a force to be reckoned with especially with the stalwart Roger Seleki and Trainde.

Troll Trollers - A flashy fashion mob of multi coloured big hair and Batman up front but with no Robin in support they never featured in the top three.

Playmobil Harriers - Ran an orphanage and suffered on the pitch as they were too smart and busy with Charity. Ryan Giggs famously married one of the orphans. The towering figure of John Playmobil remained their only hope.

Divington Town - The merry country faces of Sylvanian families, Fieldmouse took up the whole goal, although the rabbits such as Waites suffered with weight problems.

 Mayors FC - The mayor gave them all the money but they were towered over by every other team in the Mushroom Cup.

Pumpkin City - Made up of the cereal body builder palls of Tony Tiger, Mane man and his mate the cowboy Tex were a strong defence.

All these teams developed and became involved in charitable projects, intensive training, holiday camps, social events which were all covered in the Daily Duckie. I hope to unearth the 8 years of archives published by Duckie a Sylvanian duck who had lost his webbed foot and was restricted to life in a pushchair.
