What's in a team name

No.6 James Ashworth - Jimmy 5 Bellies
James Ashworth is enjoying his first N&R FL season. Previously at AIG, where it is rumoured even Maurice Hank Greenberg dabbled in fantasy football (he even helped one of Francey's ailing sides one year), James moved onto Aon Benfield for not only a lofty salary but also the chance to avoid people knocking at his house late at night and daubing paint over his front door.

The only drawbacks from working at Aon Benfield though is that you have to go to The Magpie every night with Rutts and drink 10 pints of Fosters. Some, namely Nobby & Ready would not actually consider this a drawback.

Anyway since joining Aon Benfield, it came to almost everyones attention that James put quite a bit of weight on (see above) but it wasn't only the beer for James also has a healthy appetite, one that he obviously could not afford whilst working at AIG.

His ex-colleagues at AIG had a sweep stake going from when he first started at Aon in July 2009 until Christmas on how many pounds he put on and it is fair to say that no one even got near to the number but Francey was the closest with 70lbs.

James has agreed (well he hasn't actually) now not to drink again and eat just lettuce until the N&R FL end of season cocktail party in the summer.
