From the Pink Paper:
The Justin Fashanu All-Stars made a memorable appearance at the 2010 Gay Games in Cologne, which took place from 31 July to 7 August.
The All-Stars, re-named the Justin Fashanu Friends Prague for the competition on account of the large contingent of players from the Czech capital appearing, started the football tournament well, picking up seven points from their first three games which included victories over Halo Pony and Village Manchester.
However, three straight defeats followed which promptly ended any hopes of the All-Stars earning themselves a place in the quarter-finals. That mixed bag of results placed the All-Stars fifth in their group.
However, two further play-off games would determine their overall position in the Second Division of the competition.
A penalty shoot-out defeat to the London Titans was followed by a comfortable 3-0 win against Devil’s Triangles, results which gave the All-Stars a creditable 19th place finish out of 28 sides.
