As
a schoolboy, Marcus was tipped for great things in the world of
football. His striking prowess lit up the otherwise extremely dull
Derby and District amateur ranks and it seemed as though nothing
could stand in the way of this rising star. Sadly, however, Marcus's
blossoming football career was cruelly nipped in the bud when his
parents sent him off to follow in his father's footsteps with a
career in the circus.
Strangely unhappy with this new life, Marcus learnt the skills necessary
to affect a dramatic escape and one day in front of a transfixed
audience he swung acrobatically on the bearded lady's facial hair,
launched himself into the air and landed on the back of Gazelle
Boy who in his fright carried Marcus clear away and on to what was
surely to be a better life. Having changed his identity Marcus decided
to turn to education where he excelled himself by achieving a Masters
degree in pub culture, but unfortunately once again fate dealt him
a cruel blow leading him into a dead-end media job. His football
career appeared to be in tatters. |
