Metal replica conker found in pocket of David Jakins AKA King Conker, first-time winner after competing since 1977
An absolute scandal which has rocked the Conkers World Championship to its core. It will be a long time before it can ever recover from this.
No scandal will top this in 2024. We have peaked.
He’s been waiting longer than ash to win but he became team rocket to do it
You’d need steel chestnuts to even attempt such a thing!
He’s about to have a real bad fur day
WE GOT WEIGHTS IN FISH
They way it was said, I swore there was gonna be a mob lynching. Got run out of town and sued.
“Allegations of foul play have been received that somehow King Conker swapped his real conker for the metal one later found in his pocket. … There are also suggestions that King Conker had marked the strings of harder nuts. We can confirm he was involved in drilling and lacing the nuts before the event.
The metal conker is suspicious, however to them start going around and making other random claims makes you sound like a sore loser.
That’s nuts!
That’s just not cricket!
