A
midfield general in the mould of his hero, Bryan Robson, Pete Daw
is one of the few SC Falcon players rarely to have experienced defeat
in a Falcon’s shirt. This is understandable given the solidity
and skill he has been able to add to an often rather shaky midfield
and the fact that he so rarely makes it to games.
With
talent like Pete’s at their disposal it might seem odd that
the Falcon’s don’t exactly have the most impressive
record, but Pete’s attendance record may go some way to explaining
this. Having a season ticket to watch West Bromwich Albion, the
Sunday home defeat specialists, is a partial excuse for Pete’s
infrequent appearances. His dodgy knee and his strict (pub-based)
marathon training regime are also excuses trundled out. However,
there is some evidence to suggest that these explanations are just
symptoms of what one member of the Falcon’s squad, Simon Carter,
has described as a ‘collective delusion’.
The
photographic evidence for Pete may seem real enough, but are these
pictures of Pete Daw, or just pictures of a modern day Piltdown
Man? Is he any more real than the chupacabras in Latin America?
Or are these pictures dodgy fakes like those of the Cottingley fairies?
It is hard to say, but in order to make sure that the debate is
a fair one we offer some evidence for the defence. Why oh why would
anyone invent a West Brom season ticket holder? Surely Frank Skinner
is enough for one world to cope with. And why oh why would he be
given such a bizarre job as Senior Policy Officer (Waste) working
for Ken Livingstone. Surely the only fitting place for such a job
is on Tony Robinson’s ‘Worst Jobs In History’
programme.
I
feel sure that the editorial staff here at scfalcon.co.uk will not
be alone in awaiting analysis of our photos with some interest.
After all, if someone can sell a decade-old toasted cheese sandwich
on eBay for $28,000 just because it supposedly has an image of the
Virgin Mary on it, just think what we can get for our pictures of
Pete’s Gazza-esque knee injury.
