Attention China: Unless you are one of my foosball students I will absolutely destroy you on my foosball table. Resistance is futile. You may as well give up now. – Fred Gower
Fred Gower last appeared here in December 2007 ahead of the China Open Table Soccer Championship held in Beijing. He left the country more than a year ago, but will soon return, to Shanghai. And maybe it’s just me, but the above quote suggests he has has picked up a *wee* bit of attitude. Anyway, he is giving notice to foosball players in China, including Beijingers who make the trip to our sister city in the south: “Anyone who is able to beat me gets a free meal including drinks. But be warned, total humiliation on the foosball table is not fun. Mwahahahahaaaa!”
If you want to try your game against Gower, contact him at fred_ gower@yahoo.ca.
Note: I have played foosball only a few dozen times in my life, but I scored against Gower in the one game we played. Just saying…

Has this jerk ever played against Alain, whose table soccer skills were better than any combination of the other three of us? I refer to Alain from Brittany, whose occupation as wine maker is just a front for his true, native skill as a table soccer player, up there on a par with Zinedine Zidane. Alain would use the same head-butting skill as Zidane as well, but he’s too short.
Whats with all the ‘if you come to shanggers i will kick your arse’ bollocks. If his mighty lordship was just that then he would get on his flying pidgeon and peddle all the way to the Jing and say that in person like. Come on old geeza, front up for a right good kicking then.
OK, my post was a bit trashy but that was just to get your attention. Alain or anyone else from France on a Bonzini table might be ok but on Tornado he will get pummelled.
Alain, your free meal will be waiting in Shanghai.
If you dare…
Mwahahahaha
I would go there but most of the foosball tables in Beijing suck even worse than Millwall does. Plus Shanghai is so much more fun than Beijing.
Bring a team of Beijingers down to Shanghai and then you can all get pummelled together.
Maybe a side bet to make things more interesting? I didn’t think so…
I got RMB2000 here on team Shanghai…
Haha, since I am now supporting Team Shanghai, I would like to renew Fred’s offer. Please come down to Shanghai, Beijing Foosers, so we can destroy you :-D
And if you don’t dare, I might come around on Dec 10th to your own foosball competition to La Bamba ;)
Beijing foosballers,
Here is another chance to NOT accept the challenge.
Alain, MillwallBoy, anyone else?
Didn’t think so…
