Part 5: Man of the Match Student Zine
Issue 75: 29th October 2021
Editor's Letter:
Man of the Match was in desperate need of a shake up. It was redundant. School league tables are chalked up online, and we all watch Sports news on telly - But life at St. G's is more daring, more virile, more lusty than ever, and we want a zine that captures it.
I'm proud to be taking control as Editor on the Student Newspaper's 25th anniversary, and I'm stoked to spearhead sweeping changes that will transform this dusty periodical into a sexy new webzine that will make your dick drip. Packed with hot photos and sarcastic text, MOTM will now be sent straight to your inbox, so every Lad can read it on his phone.
Kicking off with the Cover Star we ALL wanted to see: Bradley Stevens - St. G's iconic Man of the Match himself, fully exposed in steamy pictures and audacious interview. Look out for the pin-up posters we've printed to celebrate the revamp, and put Bradley up on your wall. Every dorm is getting one, find them your pigeonholes.
Next we covered the totally fucking awesome and comprehensive dick measuring contest that proved once and for all - who's the smallest and who's the biggest at st. G's? And we've compiled a fearless exposé of Hazing in St. Gilbert's most prestigious frats.
Cheers Sportsmen, Bullies and fags, here's to the bright future of MOTM,
Harry Adkin, Editor
3rd year, Rugby Specialist.

PRINCE OF THE PITCH - BRADLEY STEVENS
Words: Shane Willingly

When Harry asked me to do an interview for the new MOTM, I knew immediately who I wanted to speak to - St Gilbert's very own Prince of Pitch, Bradley Stevens.
The Golden Boy smirks when I run this epithet by him, buttoning his shirt and threading his School tie in a brilliant block of morning sunshine,
"I AM the Prince of St. G's, because my Dad's the King."
His Father, Principal Stevens, took the reigns of of power ten years ago, when Bradley was only eleven - but from that day forward it seemed assured that he would go on to become it's most celebrated Student.
"I'd be letting the side down if I don't come top of the class," he agrees, as if it outperforming a whole College of preeminent athletes is easy.
"Do you get preferential treatment?" I tease, but Bradley is unashamed of his privilege,
"Yeh! I get away with murder, mate."
It's exactly this kind of cocksure arrogance that's made him such a Hero for so many boys at the School. I tell him we're printing pin-ups of his nude shoot for every dorm. He's unsurprised, mumbling,
"Nice one," checking the knot in his school tie is quite fat enough.
Just then his fag brings socks, having been sure to warm them ahead of time. Bradley slaps the boy on his arse before drawing the heated socks over his lordly feet.
"You know how many boys would kill to be your fag?' I wonder aloud.
"All of them, I reckon," comes Brad's predictable rejoinder with a smile, and who could contradict him? (we all know the kind of perks those busy little helpers enjoy).
Because it's not just the famous narcissism of St. G's Champions that makes Bradley so popular. He's also got the sweetheart likability to back it all up. His presence on the pitch ignites a crowd, his participation in class elevates the esprit de corps, his smile brightens a room. He's patient and friendly with everyone he meets, easy-going and gregarious, if soft-spoken and a Man of few words. He's the Blonde Prince Charming of every gay boy's dreams.
But I want to understand the Man behind the myth. What's his thoughts on masculinity in the modern era?
"Should Real Men take it up the arse?" I blurt clumsily.
He stops to give his reply the consideration it deserves.
"Nah... Men should be love MAKERS, not takers."
But how does he see his future, out in the World after St. G's? Surely he wants a wife and kids?
"Yeah, of course. All Real Men should be breeding."
So he'll graduate and drop his fags? Take up the normcore life and leave St. G's behind?
"My Dad taught me all about Rome. Back then Men had wives for breeding, and fags for fucking. People liked to see a Champion putting his dick away like that. We need to bring that back."
