After the events of Exodus, the SBC Gunnerz continued to play until the end of Year 12 and well into the summer holidays. The squad was relatively settled and many of the divisions within the team had been pasted over by the euphoria of finishing off our formal educations and planning for our lives ahead.
Ads had decided that he would fulfil a life long hidden ambition to become an accountant, Chook was planning on following in his fathers footsteps and becoming an astronaut, Rod was working his way up in the porn industry by starring in some SBS documentaries on the human anatomy, Jords had already at this time signed a contract to release his first rap album called “I’m The Problem With Society” and Desmond had firmly set his sights on becoming Kim Beazley’s personal trainer. Even The Hated One had just got an internship at Macquarie Bank in mergers and acquisitions.
The future was looking quite bright for the Gunnerz with the squad continuing to expand with the introduction of Fat Petar. Fat Petar was a midfielder with brilliant technique, incredible dribbling skills and the ability to take multiple blows to the head from a table tennis bat without flinching. Lawrie Sanchez (not the new Fulham coach) was also added to the team as a reserve goal keeper and was often the source of amusement for the team, especially with his constant nipple hard ons.
The problem was that with the end of the summer holidays looming there was a lack of direction and guidance on what would happen to the team when everyone went off to uni. The Hated One failed to act in any significant way and the team lapsed into dilapidation. It would only meet up at random intervals to reminisce over the past glories of the Gunnerz. Not until 8 months later was the team reconstituted.
After attending 2004 education conference and being present at an 8 hour caucus in a communal bedroom (although he did sleep for 7 of those hours), Ads was shocked at the direction that his life was heading. After briefly talking to Desmond about the getting the band back together he tracked down Chook. He found Chook in a drug induced hallucination begging for money in front of East Keilor Hungry Jacks. Ads knew that getting Chook on board was essential for restarting the team and sent him to the Caroline Springs Clinic. After a lengthy stay in drug rehabilitation (where he formed an intimate bond with Lindsey Lohan) Chook went to Tullamarine and filled out the paperwork that would restart the team.
Chook officially called a general meeting of all the previous players of the Gunnerz. Those present at this meeting included Chook, Ads, Desmond, Freestyler, Rod, Lawrie Sanchez, Jords and The Hated One. It was at this stage that it was discovered that Fat Petar had in fact returned to his homeland of Croatia to purchase a wife (the rumour was she cost him $8.50 and a herd of goats). The motions passed at this meeting included that Chook be captain and that Ads would be his vice captain. It was also decided that a new name would be required for the team as SBC Gunnerz was a ludicrous name. The new name that was proposed by Ads (yes I take full responsibility for its shitness) was Dynamo Spurs United.
The reasoning behind this name was linked to the various teams that were supported by the Gunnerz. Dynamo for both the Croatian and Ukrainian clubs, Spurs for Tottscum and United for the mighty Irons. With foresight it is obvious to see that this name was perhaps even worse than SBC Gunnerz (who would seriously have a name which would could even connect by association a club like Tottscum with the Hammers).
To be continued…..(I’ve got a feeling that this story is going to take a while to complete)
