I'm ALFRED BOILER – welcome to my site!


Welcome to the official website of ALFRED BOILER, freelance journalist extraordinaire and former correspondent for The Fortune News, the rag of Temple Fortune FC.

You'll probably know me as the ancient old fart who watches the occasional TF game in an old sheepskin coat and tartan cap, puffing away on the smelly cigar and jotting down notes; off the field, infrequently I'd be putting pen to paper for TFN, spoiling the players with my knowledge of the game and forthright views. Naturally, literacy expertise comes easy for yours truly and many a publication has enormously benefitted from my talents. Of course, it's a two-way thing and my bank balance has equally benefitted thanks to the various proprietors' tokens of gratitude which helps purchase a beer or two or three! But when it comes to TFN, the Club gets it for free, such is my unrelenting dedication and reknowned charitable persona!

Before I continue, and it must be pointed out prior to you reaching for a sickbag, the colours selected for my inaugural website were directly drawn from the grey matter of my good lady wife Agnes. Always taking an interest in my past-times, particularly when dosh finds its way via my wallet into her handbag, She Who Must Be Obeyed insisted on choosing my colour scheme. The brief she received over a cup of coffee and Danish pastry at Tescos concerned using Temple Fortune's yellow and red colours. "Nice colours" she commented, "good idea using the Club colours otherwise it might look a bit shitty!" she mused. So what do I get? A deep shade of Sewer Brown, Poofy Pink and Morbid Black!

Anyway, I hope you'll enjoy my venture onto the great world wide web, that absolutely incredible piece of modern technology that allows my site to be read by the whole world if all of its inhabitants possessed a computer, my website address and the inclination to visit it! Now that the internet has taken the Alfred Boiler site on board, and because your telephone units are ever increasing as you read this, perhaps I'd better get on with it!

I'm pleased to have been able to help the Club during the summer by placing several player recruitment ads on the messageboards of two well-known Maccabi football websites. If I can play my part in improving Temple Fortune's fortunes then the effort has been well worthwhile. Although I've kept some original pages on my updated site, I've added a few new ones. Including a review of the 2003/04 season – not pretty reading but my forthright opinions anyway! Oh, and congratulations to the Club for celebrating 35 years of existance.

So please read on, dear visitor... and enjoy! Any feedback would be welcomed.

God bless you and may He wish you plenty of good Fortune!
Regards from Alfred Boiler (updated June 2004)
