Old Boys Clapham FC took part in BBC One's The One Show to show us as a grass roots amateur club looking forward to the World Cup in Brazil. Regular feature participant to the show Dan Donnelly interviewed Mel Kenny, Paul Lewis and Alex McGreevy and the rest of the boys at the Roebuck pub in Vauxhall. Also in attendance were some local Brazilian dancing girls who showed us their exotic moves as samba flair was introduced to the players. Brazilian food and on the menu as the lads partied to the small hours. What a way to prepare for the World Cup and pre-season. Catch the show on BBC1 on [date to be announced]. Footage and out-takes will be made available for viewing soon.
