nce upon a time there was a football ground on top of a hill that was the pride of all the land around it. People came from far around to sing and clap and cheer on the team with all their heart. But there was a club owned by a wicked witch in the same league and fans of this club were always coming to the football club on top of a hill and causing trouble and spoiling the apples and occasionally ruining the harvest.

ood burghers at the club on top of a hill scratched their beards and wondered what to do about the situation. They had summoned up all their magic to defeat the Necromancer Relegation a few years previously and there was much wailing by the fans of the club on top of a hill. The situation looked hopeless.

ut almost from nowhere the club on top of a hill were saved. From a cave marched seven dwarves, ready for action and tight for a tear-up. Each had a Lacoste baseball cap with their name on:

Larey
Dribbler
Simple
The Butcher
Sweet As
Clothes Rack
Blind Man

ould these people prove to be the saviours of the club on top of a hill? Could their short but fearsome reputation and street skills keep the club on top of a hill safe from the wicked witch’s evil ways? They had to - they were all that the people had left

elow are a series of extracts from the diary of the one dwarf who had been taught the mystical art of writing. He detailed the struggle between good and evil, between short and statuesque. Viewers are warned that this diary contains scenes that are likely to offend.

Day 56

Dwarfs steaming - all mashed up from the night before. All gazzed up on stella and what Sweet As said was charlie but I’ve had some nosebag in London when me and Dribbler were knocking about with some Reading Youth and there was no way his gear was kosher. Still, I saw a girl’s knickers at close quarters, who says there’s no fucking advantage being a dwarf?

Day 57

Away in the North Country. We catch a train early doors from the railway station on top of a hill and are soon in the swing of things. The Butcher is still caning it from last night and he knocks a lady’s paper on the floor. When she leans down we have a butchers(!) at her tits. Marvellous. She didn’t know a thing, although Larey went bright red, the pretty cunt.

12.30 - Sweet As’s phone starts ringing - it’s the northern boys. They’re up for it, the muppets, they ain’t gonna know what’s gonna hit them. The Butcher slides off to the khazi to puke. Some cunts don’t know what their fucking limit is.

Day 58

Wake up with a sore coupon. We got a pasting yesterday. The Dribbler lived up to his name and drooled into some shitbag northern drain as their boys gave us what can only be described as a real pasting. Fucking gang bang. This ain’t in the script. It was four to one and I weren’t happy. Clothes Rack got mud up his Lacoste and cried for hours. Life ain’t so easy sometimes.

Day 62

At home to the big city boys - we’re all nervous. Together we’re solid but if you get us apart then we’re fucked. Four foot of sinew just don’t add up and you end up doing mathematics in the gutter. We’re walking up the hill, it’s mostly scarfers and kids but there’s an air to it. Simple is singing, he starts on his own but we soon join in, it’s our song.

"Hi ho, hi ho
It’s toe-to-toe we go
With a liquid lunch
And a short-arse punch
Hi ho, hi ho, hi ho, hi ho."

People look round, their faces are confused but I can smell the fear, oh yes. No fucking bother. The Butcher is top boy this week. Every Monday we slip round Dribbler’s house and play poker. Whoever wins goes at the top of a dwarf pyramid and we shout "You’re a fucking top boy" and spray lager-beer on his Paul and Shark.

Day 63

Not again! Another pasting, this is really starting to fuck me off. I thought we were solid, I thought we could do the business but once again, the claret flowed and we were on the fucking mother brown. They sliced up Larey and that has really upset me. He’s a beautiful little cunt, and - I don’t know - there’s just something about him. The way he crops his hair, the shades of shirt he buys. He’s so fucking beautiful and now he’s got a gash down his cheek and I don’t know what to do.

Day 68

Larey’s still inside, he’s feeling better but I’m still beeling. We got stitched big style last week and we’ve got do something about it. A big night out in the town on top of the hill should do it. Get The Butcher to get some of his nosebag. We get the train, it’s the only way to travel. A bit of class. Nothing compares to pulling into a station, not knowing which platform you’re going to arrive on, whether the station has a Reef Café bar or just some kind of pub. Simple’s on the blower, some Millwall are in town and keen on a meet. I ain’t doing nothing without a bit of nosebag first. Some say I’ve lost my bottle after Larey but I just need a fire-up.

00:34 end up in Freedom Bar in Soho, lots of muscular fellas about. Clothes Rack is fuming, thinks the place is heaving with irons but I like the vibe. I get helped up onto one of the stools at the bar and at times like this I feel at one with myself. Sometimes my knuckles feel so very tired.

Day 69

Dunno what the cunt I was talking about last night, acting like a right nonce. I need to get back into the game. Larey comes out soon and we need a good tear up to get the rage in our bellies. This is who we are. Fighting makes us tall.

Day 73

Went shopping, bought a shirt. 200 large, nice. It ain’t easy getting dwarf clothes, being small and stylish is a hard thing to do. The wicked witch’s team are coming to town in two months and we have some work to do. Seven is a mystical number, we have power but if we get scattered we fucking die. The streets are alive with the strains of the struggle, never underestimate us. We are the last truly little people you will ever know. The tear-ups of the future come charging at us and we will not flinch.
