Fluffy Whale is a Sunday league goalkeeper – and proud of it. The gloves are three sizes too small, the pitch is mostly puddles, and his team hasn’t won a match in years. But none of that matters. He just loves diving around.

His pre-match ritual of two sardines and a stretch are yet to prove effective, but with a bit of coaching from Amuseables Sports Football, he’s convinced he’ll make it pro (his coach is less convinced).

If you can’t find Fluffy on the goal line, you’ll find him tangled in the net, waiting for someone to untie him.
