mr.
shabby

Player: Ian Reeves

Supporting Role: Walsall & England

Characterisation: This shabbily attired hole-merchant has shown Abbott and Spence up as the novices they are in the unnecessary over-elaboration department during his first season in Logica colours. First came to prominence with some dazzling displays in the Milanese sun at Italia99, but has failed to reproduce the same level of performance on cold, wet Sunday mornings in South London. To be fair though, the lad Reevaldo has never really recovered from his sartorial humiliation at the hands of Lenny Beige in front of a nationwide TV audience of hundreds.

BCR=8*: Likely to pose few problems to those defensive about their sleep after a heavy night on the disco dance-floors of Lyon, although the creeking hernia may disturb lighter sleepers.

*BCR Guide: The value assigned to each Lag represents the individual's BED COMPATIBILITY RATING (out of ten) - a purely subjective rating which attempts to measure just how good it might be to sleep with each Lag.
