Rugby Legend Battling Alec Bell

Unearthed After Decades Zoom and
Battling Alec Bell:Citizens of The World


GEEK EXCLUSIVE:
Dateline Penzance -Battling Alec Bell, the brawling legend of Ontario rugby who was feared lost at sea, has been discovered alive - propping up the bar at the CAMRA-rated Alexandra Inn in this Cornish fishing port of Penzance, Geek can report. AJ Bell, a leading figure in the Saracens Rugby Club, dropped out of sight almost two decades ago in circumstances that could only be described as "mysterious".
Having wreaked considerable havoc both on the pitch and in numerous pubs from Fletchers Fields to Pittsburgh, and with rumors of unpaid parking tickets and abandoned women chasing him from one squalid Toronto bedsit to another, Bell had little choice but to disappear.


However, as with most larger than life legends, Bell was never forgotten, partly due to the regular and unsolicited late-night phone calls received by Saracens Old Boys in Toronto. It was just such a phone call in March 2005 to Robert W. (Bob), a former Bell associate and captain of the Saracens third team, that led to the historic meeting in Penzance. Geek had exclusive access to the transcript of their telecom, which begins:
Zoom: Hello.
AJ Bell: Is that you, Zoom? It's Alec. I'm pissed.
"[Remainder of transcript unprintable – Ed.]
After considerable negotiation of book and film rights, Bell agreed to allow Robert W. (Bob) access to the true facts of his disappearance and against-all-odds survival. However, due to contractual restraints, Geek must remain silent, for the moment.
"Wokonanoonay: The Alec Bell Story" - The book, film and DVD are released worldwide on an unspecified date in 2006.
