John Sutcliffe Wins Second Streeting Memorial Tankard British Spoofer John 'The Great Unwashed' Sutcliffe has taken out the second Chris Streeting Memorial Tankard. The Tankard Spoof was introduced in 2009 to honour legendary Australian Spoofer, and co-founder of the Australian Spoofing School, Chris Streeting who sadly passed away in that year. Chris spoofed with many of the Old Dart legends during a short sabbatical in England and was responsible for bring the game back to Australia. Sutcliffe acquired his nickname during a short visit to Oz in the late '80s (which eventually lasted some months) for his penchant for going days without bathing obviously a throwback to his Celtic ancestors. Following is a short summary of the win as described by Sutcliffe himself in an email to Chris's wife Janice. Janice You'll be aware that in all Spoofing championships, no one ever remembers the runner up. Uniquely in this case, because of some unusual scheduling, the final did actually consist of more than two players, but I still can't remember who they were! If Chris was looking over my shoulder, he would have been amused to see that I called a Haughton in the final when the winning call was still available and was fined a bottle of port. He must have used a steadying hand to put me back on track to win despite this setback. john P.S. Mr Endacott unfortunately didn't make the final, but refereed it. Mr Poynton apparently had a better offer. Spoofing Venues & Details Around the World
