Raging Bull

For 3 years Badgers player Bigman has been the loosing captain at the worlds biggest sporting event, the Spurtnip Cup, and he's not happy!

From the first two games where the Squirrels ran out winners by quite some margin to his fight against his morbid weight problem. Drink & drug fueled trips to Ibiza and Christmas party brawls to a career threatening knee injury. Stories of one night stands and private party's with 'carrier bags' full for weed to allegations of dogging and the epic thriller of Spurtnip 3.

He speaks exclusively to spurtnip.blogspot.com and gives an insight into the madness of the Bigman.
























'You punch like you take it up the ass'


The 2005 Spurtnip Cup, your thoughts?

"What a game! We came so close but didn't win. Yeah we had a lot of good things to come out of the game but we didn't win. In the first two Spurtnip's we were well off the pace in terms of football, then last year we closed that gap in a big way, but that was last year."

After the first two games you were slated in the press and by a few of the players including a member of your own team, how do you react to that?

"Well you man up, think of Bobby and down ya pint. I was aware of people writing that i wasn't fit to be captain. But then that's the press and everyones entitled to their own opinion. I've made mistakes but Ibiza was a holiday out season. There were some who said drugs were taken but I've said before that it was all lies and don't forget Squirrels players Jazzy Jeff and Tab were there too. And yes Po Po did call me a fat c*** but so did others."

But you were well out of shape due to drink?

"It's too easy to blame one thing, I'm only human and yeah i like a drink and a pie. But this year will be different, i can promise you that."

Well you certainly look a lot fitter, despite the knee injury.

"Look it's a man's game. The Spurtnip is the toughest game in football and Garnanzo, Muttab and myself have suffered injuries but we fight on. The Badgers as a team are a hell of a lot stronger and fitter than ever before!

I felt I've let the team down with my own fitness so this year I'll prove i can mix it with the best players out there. I'm in the shape of my life and the Squirrels are gonna get the some abuse!"

You mentioned the injured knee but it was reported that you also injured your penis in a drunken one night stand, that along side the drunken Christmas party brawl is hardly the actions of a role model to many youngsters out there.

"(Laughs) Being in the public eye you get a lot of attention, ask any of the players of the Spurtnip Cup. Sure we get a lot of pussy so it's hardly surprising when the odd kiss and tell comes up. If i injure my penis while tapping some ass that can't be helped and it has nothing to do with football. I will say a thank you to my team mate Dele for his guidance and support. Again with the fight it's just one of them things, sometimes trouble finds you. I was at a party chatting to a girl, having a laugh when her boyfriend comes over and head butts me, so i threw a bottle of wine at his head and went for him. F*** him, he asked for that and if he tries it again I'll kill him in the face. You don't f*** with a Badger!"

So despite these things you still continue as Badgers captain.

"Yes, for now. I've had a rocky past but I've put a lot of things behind me. People will always judge you being on the biggest stage. But it's an absolute honour to lead the Badgers. This year everything is on the line for me. There are many players in our team that could lead the team and I'm sure in time they will but for this year you'll see me lead the Badgers out to what I'm sure will be the first of many Spurtnip cup wins. It's time to stand up and be counted and fight for every ball."

So have the crazy antics of your past calmed down now? Even though there are rumour of dogging in the Badger camp?

"I'm 25 now and you mature as a player and a person. Your body changes so you have to adapt your life style which is what I've tried to do. Yes a year ago there was an incident where i was at a party and a carrier bag of weed was bought in for everyone to enjoy but you've got to remember these are people with money who like to indulge in the exotic. Yeah i got mashed but i think we've all got personal demons, mine being drink, drugs and meat but thats behind me now. As far as dogging goes, this is probably another story made up by the Squirrels and leaked to the press. Where's the proof? Where are the photo's?"

This years Spurtnip Cup will be massive, after last years game being such a nail biter how do you see it unfolding?

"After last year when we played so well but lost at the end there were questions we needed to ask ourselves. In terms of fitness but more so our mental toughness. But what last year did do was give us a foundation to build on and that's what we're going to do. We're raring go. Everybody knows how passionate the Badgers are and how passionate the Badgers fans are and when they get behind us it's like we have an extra player out there. It'll be a war alright. As a team we're stronger than ever. We had some things to address and certain things needed to happen for us to get to where we are as a team. The time for talk is over and we can't wait to get out there and prove ourselves. When that whistle blows the Badgers fury will be unleashed! This is OUR year!!!!"
