Welcome to the Home of Handsome!
















In the autumn of 2003 a group of four housemates from Oxford Brookes University, dared to dream a dream...


Individually, they were as eclectic as they came: A broody Scot; the son of a preacher man; a turk; and a geeky asian with glasses, but they shared a common vision, a destiny which had brought them together and the formed a team, the likes of which had never been seen or seen since. They became...TEAM HANDSOME...!Loosely based on the life of 'Chicken' Stu from Big Brother 5, the Cowley based quartet made it their mission to give the women of Oxford what they so desperately needed, a reason for being!


Founder Members:

Alastair Bratt: Captain/Spiritual Leader
Ed Miller: Boy next door
Osman Dervish: Bad Boy
Chris Anandan: Left Wing


In the Autumn of 2004, riding on a crest of overwhelming support and popularity...the Team unanimously decided to spread its wings...accutely aware of the fact that they were logistically based in and around the London area, they decided to search for a new member...and so on a sultry September afternoon...Team Handsome were proud to unveil its newest member...Alan Parkinson - Mini Celebrant!..signed for the princely sum of a doner kebab meal and three snakebites...and they havent looked back since...!!!


With the transfer set to close, TH dipped into the market in Sept 2007 and announced the signing of Julian Underhill from Bovingdon FC for the princely sum of a 2pc chicken and chips meal (with Sprite), a Garlic Naan and six double vodka red bulls in a pint glass.
Julian Underhill - Ribena King...After being unveiled to the media, Captain Bratt spoke of his pride at what he deemed was the 'coup of the Century'. Underhill is set to make his first team debut, when the lads meet up in October for the season-defining re-union fixture
