Ndoki Banga-Banga Fish Monkeys FC of the Republic Of The Congo have stunned the footballing community by signing a fully grown mountain gorilla as their preferred first choice goalkeeper.
During the final game of last season, the gorilla - who is now named “Bruno” - was seen to wander onto the pitch as Ndoki played against rivals Petit Banan FC. Bruno proceeded to attack the Ndoki goalkeeper and chase him from the field of play. He then refused to move from the goalmouth area and stop any shot directed at him.
Ndoki Banga Banga FC scoured the League Of West Africa rules and saw no mention of any rule that dictates that any player must be human. Since then, Bruno has been allocated a keeper, a trainer and a dietician. He has now played 6 games for the club, keeping a clean sheet in each game. Thankfully, attacks on opposition strikers has been kept to a minimum, with only one attacker, Denis De Sanoobedoobee dying from the injuries sustained from Bruno’s enormous fists. Bruno is not subject to disciplinary action, as he is a primate.
Teams in Ndoki league are split over the bizarre signing. Some are vociferously against the signing of the animal. Brazzaville Howling Noirpigs have gone on strike in protest of the actions made by Ndoki, whilst teams such as Djambala Squirrels FC, Ouesso Lions FC and Impfondo Massamambamassa Mambas have embraced to idea of signing animals. Djambala have recently announced that they intend signing a giraffe for the midfield, whilst Impfondo and Ouesso have both entertained the idea of signing cheetahs in order to speed up their respective defensive outlooks.
Neighbouring Cameroon has poured scorn on the idea of signing animals. Spokesman for the Cameroon Football Association, Eric N’Bragde said, “Signing animals? Is this a joke? How did you get this number?”, whilst manager of Yaounde Pirate Parrots, Ahmadou Kallawingnut insisted that playing on a field, “covered in the excrement of animals” was “unwise“.
