Dynamo Willow
[edit]Dynamo Willow (formerly FC Willow) are a 6-a-side football team who play in the bottom division of 'friday league' at Manadon Astroturf (aka aaaaastro), they are managed by Peter Chapman who took over 4 months after joining as a player. It is believed that they started in September 2008 continuing under the name of FC Willow, this proved to be a hinderance as the name was voted 'The gayest name ever' by gays everywhere. At the start of the 2009/10 season they changed their name to Dynamo Willow which has since helped to introduce a European flair into their gameplay. They are regarded as one of the greatest teams of all time, and have participated in some very memorable matches, including the 0-0 against Enter mi nan which was named 'Astro's greatest ever match' By well known pundit Derek, and their unforgettable 3-2 victory against Brookside which was their first win. Apart from their amazing playing style, Dynamo Willow are also known for their devoted fanbase, who will do anything to help the club, such fans are Matt Douch (firm leader), Jordan Yeo (money boy)and parental duo Karen and Dodger (cheerleading/coaching team), without people like this Willow would still be class, but nobody would be there to shout "Peter Chapman football genius" whence required (average of 5 times per game this season).
The Team
[edit]Adam King - Goalkeeper. Dispite falling out with Chapman in an incident known by fans as 'the gloves off game' he has regained his place due to good performances in training and the unreliability of other goalkeepers. Although he is the shortest goalkeeper in the league, height is not the most important quality for a keeper in the 6-a-side game, his long balls are a constant threat and they are somewhat a trademark of his, along with his outbursts of anger.
Jack Maidment - Defender. Jack was the first signing of Chapman, Chapman paid previous club 'Chives +5' nothing as he lured Jack to Willow with his charisma. He is known for his heading ability and the fans have dubbed him 'Willows Vidic'. His passion for the game is sometimes expressed through derogatory comments to teammates and opposition alike, and he has been warned by 'Chin ref' many times for these comments but he's seen as a badass for disregarding these comments.
Lewis Collins - Defender. He was also stolen from under the noses of 'Chives +5' by Chapman who admired the work ethic of Collins and compared it to his own. He is also known as a heading genius, much like Maidment and is called (Willows Ferdinand) because of his composure on the ball and how he complements the style of Maidment, together they make one unbeatable defensive unit. Collins is also famed for his great outside of the boot goal on 'aaaastro field' which to this day is still unexplained my many of the games experts.
James Kennedy - Everywhere. James is one of the few survivors of Chapmans clear out, which took place when Chapman became manager, he offloaded many players which made room for arrivals such as Maidment and Collins. James is the only player to have played in every position for Willow. Known for his Berbatov-like approach to the game he has proven to be effective in every position, but its believed he's at his best in defence or midfield. He is also known for his dedication to Willow, missing a total of 6 training sessions, a record beaten by only one person.
Peter Chapman - Manager/Midfield/Genius. Chapman is believed by the fans to be "Willow personified" due to his dedication and willingness to die for the club, this spirit is one that fans wish to associate with Willow. Known for his work ethic and eye for a pass, Chapmans only flaw is his poor rate of finishing, it's said that if he could shoot he would have made it big time, it's also said that the phrase 'everything but the finish' was made for him. He is a favourite with the fans and it's been said by a reliable source that Jordan Yeo has a tattoo of Chapman on his back. Admired by many professional players, this common phrase is used when Chapman is discussed "If Giggs, Beckham, Scholes and Keane's ability were mashed together and given long hair, it would be Peter Chapman". He has the records for 'Most appearences', 'Most assists' and 'Most training sessions attended'. Along with the less talked about 'Most likey to pass in a definate goal scoring opportunity'.
Connor Sharpe - Midfield. Connor is the most recent addition to Chapmans squad after impressing in a trial. He has good technical ability and no doubt the mention of this will give him a semi. Origanaly signed as an attacking counterpart to Chapman, he plays well as a holding-type midfielder, when then allows Chapman to push forward. He holds the record for 'Goal from furthest back at aaastro' and has often scored from range. He's feared by Steven Gerrard because of extensive stalking and harassment.
Arran Yeo - Striker. Arran is known for his pace and ability to turn on the ball. He is one of the origanal members of willow along with Chapman and Kennedy but started off as a defender, in some strange Christopher Samba like scenario he became Willows striker and is their record scorer with a figure that is believe to be around 11 goals. He uses his physical defensive presence as an aid when holding off players. Along with the award for 'Willows record scorer' he also has the award for 'Most likely to CBA'.

Controversy
[edit]Many contreversal happenings have occured during Willow games, the most memorable was against Brookside when Willow rock Jack Maidment was headbutted Zidane style, by a frustrated member of the opposition, who clearly couldn't get past the wall-like Maidment. A similar incident occured against Hymec Rejects when Lewis Collins had massive guy (at least 10ft) on a leash, massive guy was then overpowered and called for a foul, words were exchanged and and them some hands and elbows and this resulted in a hatred between the 2 players. Peter Chapman was also sin binned unjustly by the famously bias 'Chin ref' as a result of frustration Chapman threw the ball to the opposition after taking a roll in to far forward, as we all know balls are deadly weapons and because Chapman threw the ball to the player at a superhuman pace he was punished.
Youth System
[edit]Willow's youth academy is known for producing high quality players such as first team stars Peter Chapman, James Kennedy and Arran yeo. But they have a great batch of youths who have been bigged up by many of the games experts. John Motson has said "some of those players are great, Peter Chapman has been a great role model for them" and Steve Bruce has said "Amongst those players there may be another Yeo or Kennedy but Chapman can't be matched". These hyped youths are:
Steven Chapman - Understudy to older brother and genius Peter, he has a great left foot, of which Peter claims is the best left foot he's seen in a Willow shirt. It's said he's the long lost son of Roy Hodgeson and is dubbed 'The English Andy Reid'
Ricky Wagner - Wagner is a great physical presence on the pitch, with blistering pace and ungodly strength, he has two great defenders to look up to in the willow first team, Jack Maidment and Lewis Collins.
Rhys Griffiths - Rhys is the total package of a player, but is maybe lacking in the physical side of the game. He is similar to Peter Chapman but he is like a diluted version, with a better shot. Many say he's the best player to ever be called Rhys, Rhys Murphy of Arsenal disagrees.
Media Speculation
[edit]Dynamo Willow have been linked with many players in the past, some of these are very successful players elsewhere. A few examples are: Daniel Rowe who currently plays for Willows main rivals Astro Allstars. Chapman was linked with Rowe for ages when Rowe was a free agent, but this speculation was never followed up. Richard Westcott of Torquay United was linked with a loan deal to Willow but Chapman felt his squad had sufficient depth. Adam Fitzpatrick was another big name linked with Willow, but due to his alcoholic past Chapman didn't follow through. Other players include Dilan Cox, Shaun Furnival, Cool James and Daryll from D&A.
Rivals
[edit]The main rival club of Dynamo Willow are Astro Allstars, considered by many to be the B-team of Willow they have many ex-Willow players and some players linked with Willow in the past. They managed to beat Willow 2-1 in a game known as 'The greatest fluke ever' but this was only a fork in the road for the everstrong Willow, who overlooked this and continued with heads high. Also K Football Club are considered to be rivals as they are also local, Although both KFC and Willow were around last season, the two teams are yet to play each other, this game is highly anticipated by fans.
