When the Robins played in the Cup Final

their goalie, Simon Mouthman, was

warned that if, this time, Spurs win, do

not beat up their German captain Ernst

Roudmann again but he did and the ref

ordered him off the field. Following a

ban for his behaviour he was distraught

and decided to go on holiday; but where

to go? Perhaps Wigan,Oban, Bury or

Brighton; in the end he picked on the

latter and seeking new entertainment

went to the casino, gambled wildly and

finished up broke, nil, worth nothing.

Now, desperate for work, he got a job

making hamburgers at The Queen’s

Hotel. Alas, alack, one day, following

a cleaver fight with the chef, he was

killed. “Bury him in Cheltenham”, the

family demanded. This was done and a

memorial stone, housed at the Robin’s

ground, was erected to record his tragic

end; at the unveiling ceremony all the

players wore crosses in his memory.
