Dwarves in Disarray due to a new signing apparently
Bimlin Grundy, the long-time manager of The Dusseldorf Dwarves, has upset the applecart this week by signing the clubs first ever Orc player. Bruggenspatz, the hefty Centre Left who found fame at Mordor Valley and to lesser extent at Valley of Mordor, was spotted by Grundy’s scouts in a 4-0 rout of The Dyson Hoovers in the Elastoplast Cup.
Bruggenspatz impressed the gathered evil minions in the stands by literally scything Hoovers Defensive Midfielder Robin Rupture in half on a 50/50 challenge in added time. “I was very impressed with him when I read the report” enthused Grundy “The red card notwithstanding, I thought it was an excellent tackle!”
However, Grundy’s happiness in signing the much sort after Orc was not matched by his squad or the clubs support at large. Bagwell Badgermouth, head of the Dwarves official fan club, was certainly less than pleased. “Ever since I have supported this fine team, we have never had Orc’s in the squad. Maybe the odd Elf here or there and maybe a Hobbit or three, but NEVER an Orc! I’m just glad my dad isn’t here to see this. He’s not dead; he’s just out of town on business. He’ll be livid when he gets back!”
Rumblings within the team are apparently also rife. Rumour has it that Bruggenspatz had holes put in his training shoes and also had “Sauron Sucker” written on his windscreen in peacocks blood. An official club statement read “There was some damage of certain players’ equipment during the last training session. We are currently investigating the matter. We’re especially interested to know where whomever did this found the peacock”
The battle to keep his supporters and squad in line might prove even more difficult for Grundy than even the Battle of Helms Deep.
