The following team will represent The G.M.P.s in World Cup 1:
First Team:
GK: D.P. Gumby (1)
DEF: Prof. R.J. Gumby (3)
MID: Mr. Eric Praline (4, capt)

The team focuses on attack, as the Mr. Eric Praline proves. All of the team are men (I think).
Kit
The team will wear handkerchiefs on their heads, with small moustaches (that can be real or fake), spectacles, braces, knitted vests, a long-sleeved shirt rolled up to the elbows, and gumboots. In away matches moustaches will be longer.
Notes on the Team
- The captain, Mr. Eric Praline, may be throwing and hitting a dead parrot at the beginning of the match, claiming it is not dead. Please ignore these claims as the parrot is resting.
- The rest of the team will be preforming the traditional "Fish Slapping Dance" at the beginning of the match.
- If ether D.P. Gumby, Prof. R.J. Gumby, Prof. Enid Gumby or Prof. F.H. Gumby say "My brain hurts!", don't count it as an injury as they have been practicing Brain Surgery.
- Also, if George Head commits a foul, remember that he has just been trying to build a bridge between the two peaks of Kilimanjaro. His brother has still not been found.

The Fish Slapping Dance
The Fish Slapping Dance has been preformed for the last 36 years all over "The Great Monty Python", ever since some archive footage was discovered in a Flying Circus in the sky. This has now be carried over to the nation's sporting event.
