Country Profile - Indonesia

Indonesia

Right from the humble beginnings of our kick abouts until we started the team and playing in competitions our team has had a huge number of players from one country in particular at one time.  This episode of the Magpies blog I am concentrating on Indonesia where we have had no fewer than seven players in our squad.  All at the same time I might add representing the Magpies for Indonesia!!!  The seven players who have played with us are, Big Willy (friendly only) Wilcent and Vincent (twins) Ardi the Warrior, Ryan, Ilman (friendly only) and Kris.  Unfortunately Kris broke his collarbone in the first game vs On Tap Badgers, so we had to beat them, and we also beat them again just for you Kris.

It all started with a man called William Christopher.  He is like the leader of the pack it seemed, and prodded the others into coming (my personal opinion) even though Big Willy (our name for him) didn't look like a leader everyone certainly liked him a lot, and he was a funny guy to be around.  Unfortunately big Willy have now went back to Indonesia, and he is actually a bit of a club legend and might get his own personal blog about him eventually.  I will never forget in our first game when he had a race and couldn't stop and nearly trampled a bench of South Koreans to death as he ran through them and they bench!!!

The big influx of Indonesians really helped us kick start our team, and for this the Magpies will be eternally grateful.

The only player we have left in our team from Indonesia (Kris) picked up a bad injury in our first game vs The Badgers going for a 50/50 ball and broke his collarbone.  He is thoroughly on the mend however and I hope it does not stop him coming back to play with us in the future.  Although I'm sure his missus won't like it too much but we all have that problem!!!

These are the Indonesian MAGPIES!!!

Wilcent (Yes Vincent and Wilcent are 2 different people, we had a joke going in the team for a while that because they are twins they share 1 job meaning only 1 of them could make it to a league game!!!!
