Not sure if the ad was ever aired in the UK, but this reminds me of a Burger King ad which featured Michael Jordan and Larry Bird competing to see who could net the ball in the flashiest way.

From nufc.com's report on last night's match against Bedlington Terriers: Highlight of the night was when Gavilan put over a cross that flew over the goal and straight through the open hatch into a burger caravan where the ball bounced around causing mayhem. Read the full report here

I'll be burgered if we don't soon hear full details from Diego himself. I bet he has a good excuse lined up.

Yeah, but the result is a bit depressing isn't it? 10 of the side had first team experience and they couldn't beat BT.

Yup - an NUFC team that cost #14mm, managed a 2-2 draw (after extra time) with Bedlington Terriers, who fielded an injury-weakened side after losing their FA Vase quarter final to Chippenham on Saturday. The Toon equalised through Gavilan 8 minutes from the end of normal time.

What a bloody embarrassment!

I hear it was all a ploy to get them back to wor place so we could get some extra gate money so we can increase the Resorves squad.
