Personnel

Have you ever heard about the Wick’d Angels?

The WHO women’s football team? Of course!

Since those days of defeat things have changed for the Wick’d Angels. No longer are we a rag bag bunch of unfit, illdisciplined losers with two left feet. No, we are on the up! Thanks to our desire to participate in the UN games in Crete in April (no, we don’t just want a suntan!) you will now find us training diligently twice a week with renewed enthusiasm and, more importantly a professional coach, John.
After watching a particularly dismal performance by the Wick’d Angels in the summer of 2004 (in our defence it was the hottest day of the year) John couldn’t bear to see the game he loved played with such ineptitude, and, seeing our enthusiasm wane with every goal that was scored against us he decided to take action — he became our coach. We now know the rules of the game, we know about positioning, we know not to scratch our opponents faces when they come in for a tackle and we know not to go to the pub just before a game (!).
We are ready for the UN games. We have been given our positions, we have our game plan and we are going to ….. well, lose probably but only because we’ll be playing against men. C’mon girls, where are you? Grab your colleagues, make a team and join us in Crete. But, be warned, we will beat you!
If you think you can’t beat us then join us. To do so please contact Nathalie Proust (proustn@who.int)
