		"11|16|2003|Smith pulled himself off for the third game in a row. Having just recovered from a hamstring injury, he pulled the other one against Tristars I in a quarter final cup game. Tristars wouldn't allow us to re-sub a sub. So, down to 10 men, we lost 3-1",
		"11|2|2003|It was a game of two halves against Tristars III. After leading 1-0 at half-time, we spectacularly went on to lose 5-1 with Mason-Smith inadvertantly deflecting the final goal into his own net",
		"9|28|2003|After receiving verbal abuse from Sawdon during FCFC's defeat to PwC Wanderers, Cooper, having had enough, threw his shirt to the ground and stormed off from the pitch",
		"9|3|2003|At the outset of the friendly match against Saffrey, Cassidy gave his house keys to the groundsman as deposit for the changing room. However, by the end of the match, the groundsman got mixed up and had given his keys away to another team. He got them back several weeks later",
		"4|6|2003|Green was involved in another 50/50 challenge. This time he came off worse against Tristars III but played on. Afterwards, at the end of season party in Huggins' pub he revealed the extent of the injury, a bloodstained sock and boot and a broken ankle",
		"3|9|2003|During the Zagreb tour a whole menu full of cocktails was ordered for subsequent drawing. Davey ended up with drinking a 'blow job' helped by Kristina's friend",

		"11|21|2002|Cooper was set upon on his way to Thursday night football near Durand Gardens. For his troubles he got a black eye and a broken nose, but his attackers walked away with nothing despite threatening him with a knife.", 
		"11|7|2002|Tombleson, having missed out on the third round crisp draw, took money out of the kitty and bought a bag of Walkers which he swapped with Cooper's scratchings. Cooper then pulled out a winning Ł20 note from the bag that Tombleson had given away.", 
		"11|3|2002|FinCom narrowly lost out to the previous year's league and cup winners, E & Y I, in a tense backs-to-the-wall performance. A golden goal two minutes from the end of extra-time settled the 2nd round cup tie, 2-1.", 
		"9|1|2002|Cooper had arranged a match against FC Kwakel in Holland the day after his wedding. After being under pressure for the bulk of the game Cooper himself scored the winner against the run of play with only minutes remaining. Half the team dived on top of him to celebrate the 2-1 victory.", 
		"8|13|2002|FCFC played their 150th game since starting back in 1991. It was a 4-4 draw against Grosvenor Estates at Paddington Rec. FCFC squandered a 4-0 lead and the game ended in disarray when Heppell sustained a rib injury in a clumsy tackle and effectively called the final whistle 10 minutes early. It had also been Cox's 50th appearance and one that he may like to forget given his spell in nets.", 
		"6|22|2002|Pierce scored the club's 150th goal from the penalty spot in the match against Whites Hill on our return journey from the 2nd Bude holiday. He had gone for a club record of 88 consecutive games without scoring.",

		"12|9|2001|In the 1-1 draw with Tristars III at Barn Elms, James Nad was mainly remembered for barging their left winger to the ground, then sitting on him to prevent him from getting past. The match was also Goodman's 100th for the club. He became the 3rd player to reach the century mark.", 
		"12|2|2001|Smith N notched his 50th appearance in the 3-1 defeat at the hands of Robson Rhodes at Regent's Park, although he pulled himself off at half-time. Johnson scored our only goal in the muddy mire.",

		"11|16|2001|FCFC played Friends of Csaba in a suburb of Budapest. The astro pitch was dimly floodlit and you could hardly see a thing. Nevertheless we went on to win 4-1 before heading off for a night of drinking and dancing to the club CD in a packed bar.", 
		"11|17|2001|on the visit to Budapest, the club took a guided boat tour along the Danube. Blankets were provided to wrap up warm, as were headphones to listen to the inane commentary of the 'fiery' relationship between Buda and Pest. And Sawdon won the boat raffle.", 
		"11|11|2001|the return fixture against Munich International School was played at a boggy but sanded Regents Park pitch. Numerous chances were hoofed over by Sawdon, and Huggins scored for both teams, FCFC winning 4-3.", 
		"11|4|2001|The second of Johnson's two goals in the 6-0 win over PwC Wanderers at Regent's Park was his 50th for the club. It had taken him 80 appearances and he became the 3rd club member to reach the 50 mark.", 
		"10|14|2001|FinCom were knocked out of the 2001/2002 London Accountancy Cup in the first round at Regent's Park. It was a 4-1 defeat at the hands of Arthur Andersen, with Merson scoring our only goal.", 
		"7|17|2001|Teasdale missed a penalty in the 5-0 victory over annual opponents Grosvenor Estates at Paddington Rec. After he'd done so well in the superstars left-footed penalty competition perhaps he shouldn't have used his right.", 
		"6|16|2001|In the 3-2 defeat at the hands of Whites Hill at Stroud, Cairns scored what was to be the Goal Of The Season. The match was played on the way to our first Bude holiday.", 
		"3|11|2001|Sawdon played his 100th game for the club in the match against KPMG I XI at Barn Elms. FinCom ran out 6-4 winners although Sawdon failed to score. With the opposition playing in yellow, FinCom were forced to find other coloured shirts to play in.",

		"2|25|2001|Mills had a bad day at the office in the 4-2 win over PwC Wanderers at Regent's Park. He scored an own goal and missed a penalty (although Murphy followed up and scored the rebound). Mason-Smith limped off with an ankle injury too. Mills had bizarrely tried to aid him by attempting to pull his shorts down while he was on the ground. The game was also Heppell's 50th appearance.", 
		"1|28|2001|In only his second appearance, Smith G racked up his 5th goal for the club when he scored 4 in the 7-4 win over Binder Hamlyn at Regent's Park. In doing so he became the fastest member to reach 5 goals in terms of the number of games taken.", 
		"10|29|2000|Pierce became the first player to reach the landmark of making 100 appearances in the 4-4 draw with PwC Wanderers at Wandsworth.

FinCom snatched a draw in the dying minutes with the infamous goal that Greenway scored with his arse.", 
		"10|8|2000|In the first League game of the 2000/2001 season, Cooper made his 50th club appearance. It was a 1-1 draw with PwC A at Regent's Park. Tombleson scored for FinCom.", 
		"6|11|2000|FCFC played their 100th match. The century was notched with the 1-1 draw against Lancing College at Lancing. Merson scored for FCFC, whereas Cooper bagged the other with an own goal, his first for the club.", 
		"5|16|2000|Bennett scored an impressive own goal in the match against Grosvenor Estates looping a defensive header over Mason-Smith in nets. Bennett did, however, score at the other end too.

		"4|9|2000|In the last match of the 1999/2000 league campaign, FinCom finished with a comfortable 6-1 victory over PwC B at the Old Deer Park in Richmond. Merson grabbed a hat-trick. FinCom were promoted to Division 2.", 
		"3|19|2000|Cassidy scored his first goal in his 8th appearance for the club. It was in the 3-2 League victory over PwC B at Regent's Park.", 
		"2|6|2000|In the League match against PwC City at Regent's Park, Teasdale scored his first own goal. It was clinically excecuted and Mills stood no chance. However, FinCom went on to win 3-2. Smith N had, naturally, been involved in a scuffle during the game, this time with the opposing Scouse skipper.", 
		"1|23|2000|Cox scored his first FCFC goal when he converted a penalty in the 2-3 defeat at the hands of Bell FC at Regent's Park. He was given the honour after making 10 previous appearances without scoring.", 
		"12|19|1999|Bell FC beat FinCom 2-1 at Chiswick. Smith N scored our goal from the penalty spot. It was Green's 50th club appearance since his debut in the first ever FCFC match.", 
		"12|12|1999|Mason-Smith scored his first 11-a-side goal in the 5-2 win over PwC Croydon at Regent's Park. It had taken him 16 starts. FinCom had five different goalscorers in that game.",
