Philadelphia, PA - After reports started coming in of potentially a massive number of Philadelphia Union players being out due to health and safety concerns, Gary Evans, the two time Schuykill River Men’s recreational over 40 goalkeeper of the year, made himself available to the team.

“I’m ready to go,” stated Evans through his agent, himself. “I’ve got my gloves and I already am starting to stretch and I should be loosened up by the time the game kicks off tomorrow as long as I don’t forget my glucosamine and my theragun.”

With 11 players potentially out including Andre Blake and Joe Bendik, Evans seized the opportunity to put himself into the spotlight.

“I’m fit, I’m in good form and I’m ready to go,” stated Evans. “Trust me when I say that I can cover the net and the field. I can even play as a striker if needed. I’ve been known to score a cheeky goal form time to time and still make it back to play my position.”

Sources privy to the details of Evans demands of the Union indicate that Evans asked for the #! kit, a roll of athletic KT tape and a centerback who can take goalkicks for him as he, “just doesn’t have the distance.”

The Nutmeg News will have more on this as the Union try to call up everyone from the USL.
