Frank Enright (39) - Prop Forward

Professional hardman and team captain Frank runs a tight ship with an iron fist which he keeps in his purse. Throughout his illustrious playing career, Frank has proudly propped for Hammersmith and Fulham 2nds, Ruislip 2nds and Sodam 4ths. He is a very ‘manly’ man and can often be seen chopping down trees, chewing tobacco and eating cow pie. He is so tough that he does not use shaving foam and refuses anaesthetic when he visits both the dentist and his mother-in-law.

 Mark Johnson (30) Prop/Second Row

In his playing career, Mango has been sent off 19 times, sin-binned approximately 47 times and has been cited on 13 occasions for stamping.

Eamonn Dunleavy (39) - Prop Forward

Eamonn has suffered with various ailments since his return from The Gulf where his fighter pilot training helped end the conflict. He is a keen philanthropist who often competes in the Great North Run to raise money for Gout UK. In 2008, he received the George Cross which ironically made George Williams very angry indeed.

Matthew O’Gorman (25) - Wing

Affectionately known as “our favourite” by his parents, Matthew is a keen student of the ancient art of ‘mumbling’. His incomprehensible mutterings have been commonly mistaken for traffic or a swarm of bees in the distance. When he rarely speaks, it’s just to tell the time, or to remind the coach that he is injured (again).

 Tour Name: “Mumbler”

 

 

 

 

Roger Simpkin (52) - Hooker

Despite his youthful exuberance recent DNA evidence has linked Roger with the ‘Battle of the Somme’. After leaving the German army, he defected to London where he took up the honest trade of accountancy. Roger is a charming family man and both he and wife Moira are passionate supporters of Wasps RFC. Interesting fact: Roger is the club’s only non-violent hooker.

 

 

 

Bruce Russell (37) - Number 8

Cuddly Kiwi Bruce ‘Mad Dog’ Russell insists that he never misses a game providing it’s a league match, at home, during the off-peak ski season. Bruce is a longstanding back-row player having joined back in 1998. His crab-like running style confuses his opponents and totally baffles his fellow team-mates too. Bruce was the leading try-scorer for the 2007/2008 and 2008/2009 seasons.
