The Animal

The Animal is a striker currently playing for the Somerset Top Fogs. He began his career with Stock Team before moving to Foggy's Magic Madmen then following manager King Fog to Somerset.

Contrary to popular belief The Animal is not named for his aggressive, animalistic tendecies as a forward but rather for his enthusiasm and proficiency as a taxidermist. A keen practitioner, he was for many years head of the Assoiciation of Pro Evo Player Taxidermists, who regaled many an afro-topped player with tales of stuffed Unicorns and Lobsters, after being successfully re-elected as the President of the organisation for a record 16 successive years he stepped down, though he continues to proffer advice in an advisory capacity.

Hailing from the scorched foot-hills of war-torn Serbia, The Animal began Taxidermy as a distraction from the fires of war and would happily wile away the hours stuffing small animals to keep him company. This hobby became so extreme that when The Animal was scouted to play in the PEMUL he was found surrounded by his whole family, (aunts and uncles included) all of whom had been gutted and stuffed, it was apparently a wonderful family scene.

These days asides from playing football, The Animal delivers lectures on taxidermy the world over and is known to command as many as six-figures for a single seminar.
