Rhythm and boots (The Malay Mail)

GLAMOIR-MALAY MAIL have signed up musician Con Delo for the Kuala Lumpur
FA soccer League.
 The six-foot-two bassist with Hammerhead, a band currently performing in
Kuala Lumpur, was an instant hit during trials recently and was duly
recruited.
 Striker Delo, 28, who is from Adelaide, has been in the music business
for the last 11 years.
 But he has always found time for soccer - his first love.
 Back home, he played for an amateur league club - Macedonia United SC.
 This is the first time the father of a two-and-a-half-year-old boy will
be playing abroad.
 He said: "I have always tried to play soccer whenever we do stints
abroad. Somehow, I have been unable to find the right club or wasn't in
the country long enough," he said.
 Apart from playing bass guitar, Delo is also one of the vocalists in the
band.
 "I am looking forward to playing with Glamoir Malay Mail in the League,"
said Delo who has already featured in several friendly matches with the
team.
 "Playing for an amatuer club like Malay Mail suits me fine because they
do not train daily but at the same time, they are a serious team.
 "I play to win and don't like losers," said Delo who does not smoke or
drink.
 Delo keeps fit by working out at the gym and attending training with his
new team.
 Malay Mail are in the process of securing his International Transfer
Certificate (ITC) through the FA of Malaysia to enable him to play in the
local league.
 Delo is not the only foreigner they have acquired.
 They have Australian Taso Notaras who is also employed in Kuala Lumpur
as a fitness instructor.
 Sweeper Notaras, 22, from Perth, played for Floreat Athena in the
Western Australian League - the same club as former KL striker Vasilios
Kalegaros.
 Glamoir Malay Mail, who have not won a trophy in the last two seasons,
are bent on landing a title this season.
 They were KL Dunhill League runners-up in 1993.
 They won the League title in 1990 and were runners-up in 1988.
 They won the President's Cup knockout tournament in 1992.
