At his busiest time of the year, you might expect Santa to have other things to do than play football, but minifootball players at one UKMA affiliated league got more than they bargained for as a whole team of them turned up.
The festive squad played their game at a UKMA affiliated league in the West Midlands in fancy dress and unbelievably – proving that Christmas really is a magical time of year – they won their game 1-0.
The captain of the team of Santa’s Stephen Harris, explained that it was done for charity and raised £300, but added: “It was great fun, it was a laugh but done for a good cause too.”
Steve also said the costumes might stay next week: “We played better with them on than normal,” he smiled. “It might be something we look into!”
