Media statement from Logic:
On a cloudy day on the coast of England, the Brightlingsea Regent Football Club hosted Tottenham Hotspur at the aptly named Brightlingsea Regent FC Stadium. With the home team trailing league leaders Chelsea by 2 points (with Chelsea also holding a game in hand), it's a must-win game for the Regent. On the other hand, Spurs sat mid-table with nothing to play for, with only outside chances at European football.
What happened next is one of the disasters of all time. In a shocking result, Spurs would proceed to concede 7 goals over a period of 90 minutes, including the Regent scoring a completely unnecessary 90th-minute finish from Momchil á Hrdlička.
When asked for comment, Tottenham manager Eddie Donoghue, having recently celebrated his first year in management at Spurs, said it was "certainly not what one wanted when stepping on the football pitch."
In the other dugout, there was a similar level of shock. In his 16th season managing Brightlingsea, Gareth Prichard commented that "it was good to see the lads execute on everything they'd practiced."
When asked about the 7th goal in the 90th minute, Prichard said, "It was a golden chance and I've taught the boys to never give those up."
Brightlingsea had a team record of four players receiving a match rating of 10 (Lewis Malloye, Cris Parras, Drugi Galla, and Momchil á Hrdlička), all midfielders, with Malloye eventually being awarded the Man of the Match award.
On the other side of the field, Spurs goalkeeper Arran Flanagan received a 5.85, and didn't answer questions from reporters after the game.
