Leicester's Internet Foxes managed to turn up at this year's Worldnet. Just. 7 of them managed to be late for the first game and it was downhill all the way as crap draws, no luck and the woodwork thwarted their efforts to actually manage to win a game! (Not to mention a total lack of fitness, very little skill and hangovers.)

Good job the whole point of Internet football is about taking part and not winning eh?! The team had a great weekend up in Leeds, and met plenty of new footy friends from not only around England, but also Scotland (100% without exception pished as newts, the lot of them. And to think the whole tournament may be in Edinburgh next season god forbid), France and Greece.

51 teams took part this year, the biggest ever. A massive well done has to go to John "Betty" Boocock, Rogerre and the team up in Leeds for another successful year where fat old and drunk men and women get to don their clubs' strips and get tonked by Hibs 10-0.

Here's a few images from the weekend. If you fancy getting involved in the Net Foxes, click the link about them...they always want more players*.

Due to the stunning progress in the group games, the Foxes went into the playoffs fighting to be chucked out of the compo on day one. A feat never managed before in Worldnet history. Foxes never quit, but true to form, the Foxes lost to Charlton and packed their bags early!

Well done to the Foxes players who really didn't deserve to go out in the competition so early. Boo hiss to the teams in their Group who were too damn sober and lucky! And special mentions to Foxes who turned out the next day despite not being able to walk, to help Stockport's Mad Hatters and Hull's Tiger Chat; two top Internet sides. You did Leicester proud.

(* The term "players" is of course used in the loosest terms possible. If you're alive, you're in.)

Most of the Internet Foxes and some Luton bloke with an inflatable banana...(don't ask)

Neil James (mid 50s), the Foxes' Youth Policy. Shutting his eyes and praying...

Steve Parker, psyching himself up with music? Nah, listening to the Lions game cos the footy was soooo crap...

Bugger, might as well go down the pub then.

That's better. Next season's captain, Phil Bray, sets the right tone for 2001-2002

Smiffy and the team celebrate conning Phil into taking the Captaincy from him

No, we have no idea why defender Ad Barclay has put his shoes on the table either. Answers on an e-mail please.

Anyone out there think they're crap enough to play for the Foxes?! Contact us via e-mail or the Fans Forum.
