Herbic Bazooka may be small, fat and only eight, with crummy old glasses, but he plays football like they do in Brazil. So when the Hottenham Totspurs' star striker is injured just before the FA Cup Final, who better to take his place than Herbie? It's a close-run thing and the opposition try their best to bash Herbie out of the match, but our bespectacled hero comes out on top in the end, as the Totspurs snatch an unlikely victory from the jaws of defeat. Take your seats, please, for some amazing football action!
