DVD back cover:
Slayer FC as seen on TV, albeit Spanish TV and local Spanish TV at that.
Nevertheless we landed on our feet on this year's tour and it must surely rank as one of the most memorable. From our base camp in the light industrial Zona Franca near the airport, we were mistaken for Bristol Rovers and the rest is history: a VIP tour of Sabadell's 20,000 seater stadium, TV interviews and the most unbelievable opportunity to play Sabadell's old first team.

The fancy dress competition was hotly contested with "The Return of the Confuser" just beating Darren Lynch's "Papa Smurf" having spent two months growing a beard for the occasion. A truly memorable weekend, magnificently arranged by Simon Pegg.

"One of the most hilarious football-related misunderstandings, mishaps and mismatches of all time - if, by all time, you mean late April 2012"
