That's the one Barry. The Nigerian international who plays for FC. Cologne - his antics with the billy goat mascot (after scoring) drew lots of criticism. He has now left for Bremen and so is out of harms reach. Over to you.
Fantasy stories have dire aminals, they are bigger and fiercer than normal. Dog size rats huge wolves 2m tall.
Is this some reference to the dire wolf, another word for a type of large prehistoric wolf which came into lots of early literature as having being ridden by demons etc. In which case I would say some sort of fantasy story which takes northern mythology as its source.
