youth. Most improved player of the year award and 1st
team vice captain |
|
Biography: |
|
Ryan is a
fine specimen of a man. With
his boat like feet, long
pencil shaped legs and his
large bramble bush meets
kitchen mop hair it is easy
to spot him in a crowd. He
was born in 1987 in a small
forest just outside Cambodia
where he was brought up by a
family of monkeys. After
being bullied for not eating
his own poo Ryan ran away
and found himself on a boat
to England. After ringing to
complain about his orange
mobile he was sent some
clothes, food and some
parents who then sent to St.
John Payne catholic school.
Ryan being a prime example
of when you can’t have
something you want it more,
he left catholic school and
wanted to spread his love
seeds around Woodham as
quickly as possible and he
did so effectively. After a
couple of years of wearing
his winky to the size of a
small cocktail sausage Ryan
has finally settled for one
partner which effectively
will be better for his rugby
because he is not allowes
out on the lash as much.
Ryan is a great asset to
the first team and following
in the footsteps of his
father is certainly going to
be a big part of south
woodham rugby for many years
to come. |

Honours: |
*nothing to display* |
Neil Gittos has played for South Woodham
Ferrers Rugby Club since he was 4 years
old and a good few stones lighter. He
has played in some very successful youth
teams and is now in the 3 way fight for
Starting places as prop for Woodhams
first 15.
Neil is however always in the first team
when it comes to drinking, bitting then
getting the right ump!! Which is always
very funny for everyone else.
He has definitely taken the mantle of
‘Player most likely to Bite / easiest to
wind up’. The Award previously held by
both Michael Cheyne and Warren Duggan.
Some would say there is a connection
with these 3 names in that they are all
front row, however Warren would quickly
point out that he is a WXXXER!!!
His hatred of Andy 'Billy Elliot'
Williams is also well know however we
believe this to be a smoke screen for
his undying love for the twinkle toed
fly half.
Neil has also recently introduced a
Alter Ego - Mr Kipp L Hardstuff.
Kipp is a really good laugh and can do
some serious drinking....and you can
often hear Neils friends screaming at
neil to go home and send Kipp out. 2
mins, a trip to the toilets and some
hair gel later and Kipp is out for the
night. But be careful, as it is rumoured
that he is an ex-cage fighter from
Australia so not someone to be messed
with. However it has also been said that
he is awesome with the ladies, but we
are yet to see this!!

Born in 1981 Paul “Divvy” Morgan soon found his

being an unfortunate incident when his pen1s
“fell out” of his shorts and into the mouth of a
calf. If you know Divvy, then you are well aware
that his pen1s can not “fall” anywhere. A
regular in the SWF RFC first team for many years
and the source of much humour for all of them. A
student at William De Ferrers School for 5 years
and has now been at college for 10!! An Honorary
Life member who should be respected for his
endeavours in building our fabulous new club
house which was opened in 2005. |

Started life in the backs but quickly lost the desire of
pace when discovering he could eat and drink for a
living, moved swiftly into the forwards where he new he
could shelter from the elements on a cold day but found
to his dismay he was of challenged height to sustain a
permanent place in the second row as gleefully pointed
out on many occasion by his father in law the legend
known as Andy Elliott thus finding himself at the only
place left for him to go at the coal face in the front
finding this more suitable to his talents of being fat
sloth like and aggressive with a tendency to go to
ground without telling his hooker |

Born in 1965 Stuart
was beaten round the head regularly by his
mother with a golf club to toughen him up.
He took to self-harming by jumping out of
perfectly good airplanes using only his red
helmet for safety. His mastering of
tactfulness and diplomacy has left many
people speechless. Very much a clubman,
Stuart is dedicated to the future of this
club and without his commitment and
connections we may not have had fine club
that we have today. Although, he is now
nearing the end of his usefulness to the
club now that his son, who is a much better
player, more handsome, faster, hairier and
nicer person than he is.

|
Dislikes: |
Lager & Buffon hair. |
|
Honours: |
Top try scorer once apparently…zzzzz zzzzz |
|
Biography: |
|
Warren actually
grew up an accomplished footballer, but
soon realised how much harder he could look if
he played rugby. He had much success as a
youth/colt (mainly because he played in teams
that included 14 county players and the Digga).
Made an immediate impact in Woodham where, due
to a fairground accident (Carney!) involving a
bottle of helium, he became infamous for his
girlishly high pitched laugh and moany voice.
Suceeded Cheyne as team biter/moaner and held
the title right up until this year before losing
out in a close fought battle with Neil Gittos.
A now more mature and popular character
(apparently), Warren has taken to impersonating
a cowboy at every given oppurtunity, using his
fingers to shoot the air every time anything
good happens. Always in a good mood due to his
positive outlook on life, it is a very rare
sight to see Warren in a bad mood or moaning
about anything.
Digga has become a recent fan of dieting, and
using his "thinspiration" photos, starts a new
diet every other week. However his weight loss
drive has experienced serious problems recently,
with the debut of "Wednesday night Barbecue
Club" where Digga is a gold card member.
On the serious rugby side, Digga has been a
prolific try scorer for the 1st XV and has been
an integral part of the clubs recent success,
and this season has even managed to learn how to
pass, to now become the all-rounded player.

Biography: |
|
Bob went to school in Basildon where he studied
smoking behind the bike shed and trying to get a
drink. He left school when it was possible to
fail O levels and did.
He lasted one year in a shipping company and
then met a girl from Billericay, who was miles
to good for him but liked a bit of rough.
Bob joined the fire service as a fire fighter
and after over 30 years of intensive training
has rose through the ranks to become a fire
fighter.
Bob discovered Rugby as the only way of getting
a drink and played for many years at Basildon at
full back.
He threw his rattle out of the pram because they
would not play him at flanker and joined Woodham
who only had two other back row players.
Bob played for Woodham for many years and only
returned to Basildon for a short period to play
with his brother.
He got selected to play for the fire service in
Vegas as one of the 15 players who paid for the
trip.
One highlight of Bob’s playing career was
celebrating a try by raising his arm as he dived
in and dislocating his shoulder much to the
enjoyment of the watching crowd. Bob is also
adding to their enjoyment by trying to play
scrum half.
Bob is nearing the end of his career now with
only one good arm and crap legs.
He has taken up coaching and has managed to get
his nose broken by a 13 year old boy.
Like Carling Beer, Bob is probably the best
player Woodham has had up to now. |

Biography: |
|
David ‘Bully’ Bull is another member of Woodhams
first team that has been at the club since he
first took up rugby at the age of 4. He is a
very important member of the first team and was
a successful Club Captain! But more importantly
he is one of the top members of the Clubs
drinking Culture. Bully has taken many young
players under his wing over the years – Digga /
Andy Williams / Neil Gittos and Lee Guess to
name but a few. Some people would say that he is
even looked up to or admired as a leader. Even
the Mighty Michael Cheyne often looks for Bullys
approval. He is one of the first to stick up for
his mates and was once one of the last men
standing at any nightout. Then all of a sudden a
few years ago now Bully was seen sloping off
home early doors from nights out…Claiming his
homing legs had kicked in…but we all knew this
could mean only one thing!! Female intervention!
But despite this intervention BullDog social
life has not suffered much. Unlike other Members
of the Club. He is still one of the few woodham
players that can normally be found out Thursday
/ Friday and Saturday nights week in week out!!
Without fail.
In recent years Bully has become a somewhat of a
Joan Collins figure attempting to fight the
aging process, he has had some success and has
actually been 24 since 2003. However recent
accusations have been made that Bully age as
shown on WII Fit was 27, however these reports
were shown to be fake when fellow SWFRFC member
Will Polston was shown to be 82.
Despite his ascent towards the
dizzy milestone of 30. Bully,
along with his Housemate Sean
Slater is a player described as
"in his prime and in peak
physical condition" this may be
due to their rigorous house diet
of takeaways and then extensive
use of their new recovery
facility (a hottub!)
Along with several other currant
first team players, Bully has
been an integral part of
Woodhams recent success.

up north, Andy started boxing at a very young age but
then realised he preferred ballet, after any years of
dancing and running round in circles he decided to take
up rugby. He still has problems running in straight
lines on windy days due to having the biggest ears any
little boy had ever seen.
After his recent stint in jail from touching boys he has
come back to rugby with a spring in his step and brought
his South African paedophile friend Rhett the vet.
Andy is now currently trying to set up a young boys
rugby team this is just showing how rehabilitation is
moving forward step by step. |
