Interesting facts about Jason McCarthy

Jason changed his surname by deed poll (his birth name was Burrowsmithinson) as he has a mild obsession with former Barnsley defender Mick. This is part of the reason why he has signed for us as it is his intention to play exactly 1 game less than his idol did for Barnsley. He's even been known to say 'ay up' on occasion despite being born on the south coast.

He owns 384 pairs of 'skinny' tracksuit bottoms.

He famously invented the Americano coffee variety. If you go to Starbucks and say your name is Jason McCarthy, your Americano comes in a goblet made of pure gold.

Jason McCarthy represented England in the 2011 world jousting championships. He came a very respectable 7th.

His childhood nickname was sawdust, after an unfortunate incident with his dad's sander and his pet guinea-pig.

His first car was a Rover 25 monster truck.

He physically cannot end a sentence without saying the phrase, 'ya know bruv'

Allegedly, he delayed signing his first pro football contract as he was reluctant to give up his part time job as a topless waiter in his local fish bar.

Having become a minor celeb with his jousting achievements, he once appeared on Comic Relief attempting to break the world record for kick ups with a banana whilst wearing thigh boots and a thong. He only managed two but Giles Brandreth clocked up 36 and asked to keep the boots.

Despite only having been in Barnsley for little over 24 hours, he has already bid the asking price for the flat above GT News at Darfield and measured up for carpets which he plans to fit himself straight after the Rotherham friendly if they allow him to bring home a roll of underlay, on the team bus, from Eastwood Carpet Supplies.

He has a clothing sponsorship deal with Primark and is often heard boasting about his 5% discount card.

He was actually a founding member of the 1980s indie band McCarthy but jettisoned his music career when he was selected to play for Slowdive XI in the bi-annual 'inter-indie band' cup competition. He got his chance in the 2nd half of the quarter final when first choice right back Alan McGee was injured and had to come off. McCarthy seized his chance and had an outstanding game which included several crunching challenges on Edwyn Collins, a goal line clearance of a fierce Luke Haines strike and a last minute diving header winner which gave goalkeeper Simon Gallup no chance. Realising his potential he contacted Southampton FC asking for a trial. After a slight delay, they offered him one and the rest is history.

 

I'd written it as one word it autocorrect on my phone to depol weirdly.
