Name:

Ryan Marshall

Nicknames:

Beanhead

Position:

Backrow/second row

Height:

6’2”

Likes:

Nottingham Forest, curly hair, galaxy caramels and snowboarding

Dislikes:

Digging, thieves and cold sores on a Tuesday. 

Honours:

Essex 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.

Name: Neil Gittos
Nicknames: Heather, Mr Kipp L Hardstuff
Position: 16, 17, 18 prop
Height: 5ft 11”
Likes: Getting the hump, watching rugby and loves his role model dad. Barry, Eating / Eating / Drinking / Drinking / moaning / SKY TV in his room (who knows what he uses that for)
Dislikes: Sex, women and people taking the mickey out of him.
Honours: *nothing to display*
Biography:
 

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!!

Position: Lock / 2nd Row

Honours: Appearance on The Big Breakfast as a Boy scout – dib dib dob dob.
Biography:
Born in 1981 Paul “Divvy” Morgan soon found his calling working on a farm. His claim to fame 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.

Biography:

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

Honours: 2001 Twickenham Warm Pasty eating champ.
Biography:

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.

Name:

Warren!

Nicknames:

Digga / Hands

Position:

Wing (not centre)

Height:

5' 2

Likes:

OTT wooing, pretending he is a cowboy by shooting the air, admiring Leon Gateson from a distance, Referring back to the glory days of last season. High Pitched Laughter.

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.

Honours:

 

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.
