In terms of international scouting none are more experienced than Mr. 305, Mr. Worldwide, Pitbull, but Tom “Albatross” Bekkers is a close second. However it was a case of Chris Brown – International Love for one half of the Twin Towers on his recent scouting trips to the States and Europe where he left a plethora of broken hearts in his wake, something the management of Rack City were pretty happy with having foregone the finding of any footballing talent to add the already bursting Rack City roster. His presence comes as a welcome return to the often makeshift Rack City backline as with the departure of Jesse “Bullfrog” Wright and Tom Kindley’s late withdrawal, coupled with Cam “Killa Cam” Will’s inevitable and annual unavailability Sunday following his exploits the previous nights drinking, Rack City are in dire need of some defensive cover. Much like Vertonghen and Aldeweirelds rekindled partnership at Spurs following their previous partnership at Ajax, Albatross’s return will reunite the defensive duo of Corkhill - Bekkers from Mosgiel of yesteryear and he’ll be relying on his Dutch pedigree to imitate the former duo’s performance for the Amsterdam based club. Often fairly reserved, this could still prove to be a big weekend for the Dunedin based banker yet as outside influence from Tim “Pleb” Dunn and David “Pies” Bainbridge may be too overwhelming to ignore. Expect big things before his next scouting trip, where Pies will accompany him to Central America.

Official kit presentation

It's with sadness that Rack City Rovers are forced to inform of the passing of our 2014 playing kit.
Unfortunately some t**t has decided to steal our full Purp & Green collection from the back of a car and it is unlikely to be located in time for the weekend.
So if you see the nipper next door walking to school in his player issue "Lenny 89", then feel free to execute a civilian arrest.
There will be a minutes silence prior to the teams first match on Saturday and the lads will be wearing black armbands as a sign of respect.
Taken too soon, you will be missed.
