About Me
My name is Karl fAtNeCk Power.the youngest of 11 children brought up on a council estate in L.A (Lower Ancoats Manchester). Being brought up with a big family was sweet as the clothes we wore fitted us all(mi pass mi downs).As life progressed "No One Said It Was gonna be easy" so i was readdy for anything.
from a very early age I new there was something inside me that wanted to do things a little different, I think its because we didnt have much money, and couldnt pay for much we wanted, so the only way around it was to "BLAG IT"
I have always been interested in Boxing and I remember I tried to get into a boxing show at belle veu Manchester (The days of Bobby Rimmer and Naji Dayo R.I.P.) and as I was walking in the Venue, the real boxers was walking in at the same time ,and they the security, thought that I was with them so this was it from that moment, I new all that i needed was one of my brothers "Pass Mi Down" tracksuits, and I was at the back door with a sports bag with Trackie on Blagging It that I was on the Boxing Bill(no regrets it worked all the time) may be because my nose was flat.
Then one day I had been sat in the house on a right downer, and my pal called round, and said do you fancy doing a stunt over in Byern Munich GERMANY on MANCHESTER UNITED so from that day we planned what was to take place where I walk onto the football pitch dressed in replica Man United kit, and walk on to the Olimpic Stadium pitch and have my photo taken with the boys, I mean come on People its every United fans dream having the picture taken that I had The 12 man!! with Roy Keano looking down at me from the other end, also what we decided to do was get Eric Cantona name put on my back (respect for the King) Photo showing soon.
Well the prank went down that good and caused so much Media attention because this went GLOBAL it was a bit weird really a shit myself, even on the way home on the plane from Germany I was on the front of every news paper saying whos the Ringer, my pal let one of the stewardesses on the plane know that it was me , and I only got invited into the Cock Pit at 31,000 feet up, shaking hands with the pilot, he had to be a Red didnt he.
After all the attention we had created, we decided that this kind of stuff was easy,and no one else was doing this kind of stuff, I mean you had your streakers " but what we was doing, was MEGA. so we sat down and started planning STUNT number 2 England v Australia in the Ashes tour 2001. But only this time I was to walk out at Hedingley in LEEDS Cricket ground dressed as a Batsman for ENGLAND, It may sound alright, but alot of planning had to go into this, just this, just by getting the gear alone,cricket gear (All White Kit (Helmat) (Gloves) (Bat) as we were just a firm of Council kids ON TOUR (Skint) Say no more!!
I think people now realized that after pulling off this Cricket Stunt, and making global headlines Again, that we was serious, as I was getting invited down to do T.V shows,Think Its All Over!! and more, But we had only just Began...
The 3rd Stunt I was to walk out dressed in The ENGLAND Rugby Kit In ROME At The 6 Nations RUGBY Tournement Against ITALY.
