No.3: Mark Dewberry's Toothless HoggetI was only talking to Mrs Dewberry the other night on the phone (it was late), and she was telling me what a flipping alchy her old man is. I agreed, every time I go into The Lamb Mark is there. He was there today, someone told me.
In fact his team name is dedicated to his 2nd, sorry 1st home and I reckon he must have been wankered when he thought of it. This is Mark's thinking behind this season's moniker:
Wikipedia tells us that there are 3 type of sheep meat. One being Lamb — a young sheep under 12 months of age which does not have any permanent incisor teeth in wear. The next is a Mutton — a female (ewe) or castrated male (wether) sheep having more than two permanent incisors in wear and a popular dish down the back of Brick Lane and the third is a Hogget — a young male sheep or maiden ewe having no more than two permanent incisors in wear.
So Mark, clearly obsessing about baby ewes (didn't know he was Welsh) decides on the last train home again that a Toothless Hogget is a Lamb, and so is the place he spends most of his afternoons, so it's obvious innit? I'll call my team the Toothless Hogget! Simples.
