NAME: Graham “Young Man” Young DATE OF BIRTH: Has he been born yet POSITION: Centre/Wing HEIGHT & WEIGHT: Young and Younger CONTACT DETAILS: Dixies TEAM: Nomads ADDITIONAL INFO: Being the youngest man in the world, Youngie does have the lack of experience excuse on his side for blowing a clear overlap. However a “twisted” ankle in a game earlier this season makes us think that he may have learnt his lesson! Also has an addition to chocolate and will eat enough brownies to make him sick given half a chance! |
NAME: Chris “Woocy” Wood DATE OF BIRTH: ? POSITION: Centre/Wing HEIGHT & WEIGHT: Short and heavy CONTACT DETAILS: Dixies TEAM: Nomads ADDITIONAL INFO: Don’t led Woocy’s follicly challenged mop fool you – he is younger than he looks (although obviously not as young as the young man!). Perhaps the only man in the squad who can keep pace with Matt Thomas in the degenerate stakes. |

CONTACT DETAILS: Dixies TEAM: Nomads ADDITIONAL INFO: Boy Band is blessed with pop star looks and a bald wing man (Woody).

CONTACT DETAILS: Dixies TEAM: Nomads ADDITIONAL INFO: Claims that Woody had pace at school remain as yet unfounded, he shows acceleration unseen since the heyday of the Scottish motor industry.

| NAME: Joseph “Ooh, Northern Boys love Gravy” Bryan DATE OF BIRTH: N/A POSITION: Stand Off HEIGHT & WEIGHT: 6′2″, heavy CONTACT DETAILS: Dixies TEAM: Nomads ADDITIONAL INFO: Joe regularly puts the back row to shame with his big hits. However his use of “gripping gloves” do give rise to concern that he may not be a true Northern boy. STOP PRESS – Joe has shamefully reverted to the association form of the football game. |
