Mr Junior will now be entered into the jovial European Championships, where he has the chance of winning a solid chip-board coffin. So we wish him well with that. Interestingly Mr Terry is not the first Tottenham (of Tottenham and Arsenal Funeral Directors) to win and become the Grin Reaper. His dad, Terence Sr, won six times back in the heady 1970s when death rates were high and big money was being made by undertakers. Mr Senior would most likely have won a seventh time had his short life not been cruelly cut short by his rival Stuart “Stew Pot” Crystal-Palace (of Crystal-Palace Funeral Directors), in a notorious church yard brawl following a cremation. Good luck Terry. Gary Grimsby. Mayor
