Fantasy Bobby

Executive authorities at go ahead Edinburgh cricket club Carlton have launched an investigation into a possible act of vandalism to one of the club's most cherished icons.

The world famous Fantasy Bobby underwent restoration work recently to turn his shiny nose back to its original black.  However, less than 48 hours later, his nose was shiny again.

A spokesperson for the club said, 'Fantasy Bobby attracts visitors from all over the world following the legend about him turning up day after day to bowl up the hill against the wind long after his bowling action was well and truly dead.

'We are disappointed that his nose has gone shiny again, but we do not believe there is any relation to the amount of Kopparberg consumed in the club bar this season.'
