Six foot seven man versus sausage.

Harrison in tasty battle
By Simon Parker (T&A)

Six foot seven man versus sausage.
And that's a sentence I have never written before.
No, it's not on the WWE undercard at Wrestlemania this weekend - though after pitting Floyd Mayweather with a giant wrestler who could use him as a tooth pick I wouldn't put anything past them.

But this man v banger contest is taking place for real in the national fanzine awards.
Mike Harrison, the brains behind the long-running City Gent, has been short-listed in the top ten fanzine editors. The Gent itself is also among the front-runners to win the League Two award, along with independent Bantams website The Boy From Brazil. But the intriguing battle is among the cream of the fanzine editors, who include the splendidly-named Sausage presiding over Everton's effort. Harrison is suitably chuffed to make it through to the last ten.
"It's quite an achievement," he says, "but I will be disappointed if I get beaten by someone called Sausage!" All the nominations can be seen at footballfanzineawards.com
