<p>Of all the awards Tatts has won over his long and distinguised career the 2010-11 Worst Miss of the Season award is a particular highlight. Well, it won't be sitting on his mantel piece gathering dust for much longer as we surely already have this season's winner. Take a bow Scott Norton who managed to head over from approximately 17 centimetres much to the astonishment ( and amusement ) of the 17,891 strong crowd. The ceremony which is like the handing over of the green jacket at Augusta Masters will be held at KFC in Guiseley on Thursday night.
<p>It mattered little though as Norton had by then spanked in one goal and added three more in the second half in a very one sided pre-season friendly. Lion ran out winners by 9 goals to one and after a sluggish start to the game played reasonably well in patches.
<p>In the absence of Jimmy Laughey the Potty Mouth badge has been waiting on a new owner. On Saturday Scott Dyson and Si Hollings gave 2 stupendous performances which could claim that much coveted crown. Dyson insisting that the opposition return the ball ( their own ball! ) "you cvnt" was a great start to the friendly and it was neatly book ended with Hollings trying to start a brawl with their centre half just as the referee blew his whistle.
<p>In amongst all that our new look centre forward Kris Sutton had scored the first. Buttons angled one in just before half time too to give Lion a three goal advantage. New gaffer Davlin didn't need to say too much but he began to get a little more agitated when Wakefield pulled a goal back from the restart. However, normal service was resumed with further goals from Norton, JT, Tatts and Si and in truth it should have been double figures.
<p>The most notable things to take from Saturday were the Pre-Match Dodgeball warm up on the 5-a-side pitch. What was all that about? JT's Pedometer reading which startled everyone when it read 9.16k but a quick call to Nike revealed it was measuring metres not kilometres. The hottest 5-a-side arena ever - we were sweating like Josef Fritzl on MTV Cribs. A pitch without any touchlines. And the opposition bringing on someone at the end that looked like he'd come off the local allotment in his green jumper. A special mention to the pink kit which went down a storm and will please Dicky Machell more than a Westlife encore.
<p>The hardest task on Saturday though was remembering to drink left handed as Si Hollings' eagle eyes could spot a right handed drinker from 100 yards. Maybe that's what he was fighting about?
