Rugby

[Shaggy]

Hence me not fitting in when I played club rugby.

Ah-ha. Yes, you're tee-total aren't you.

It revolves around drink. When my mate 'enrolled' for some rugby club in Preston, they made him down a pint of Guinness, naked, and run around the pitch. Each time he reached the 'lap' point, he'd have to stop and drink 2 more pints, then do another lap and sink 3 more pints, then another lap and 4 more, etc etc, until he puked his guts up, naked, in front of the drooling pack of homoerotic 'big boys' who were all pissing themselves.

His brother played for Orrell, Preston Grashoppers and Fylde - and they did similar things at those clubs. It's pitiful.

My first night at Waterloo training, I intercepted a pass from the star centre and outran the captain from my own 22 to score a wonder try. Looking back now, it was pretty unwise. Worse still, Austen Healey's dad remembered me from a time that I intentionally knocked him over on a touch line during a school rugby game. Apart from his upper middle class leanings and attempts to deride me, I had a laugh playing for their colts team. Never did I have to be initiated, or do a forfeit. The worst thing I saw was a foodfight at a club dinner, which made me sick because they all pissed off and left it to their mum's to clean up. On my first night, as penance for making the captain look stupid, I got directed into the women's team bath. Even that back fired on them, since I knew the only straight player in there, who was a mate from school times.

Haha.

As for the rest of it......it makes me cringe.

I bet you were one of those kids no one ever picked at school.

He'll recount his glory days in centre midfield any minute now.

[Shaggy]

Yeah, like captain of the school football team, and mainstay of the cricket and basketball teams.

[Shaggy]

Admission - I was captain for two years, before I got sacked.

Actually it's just occurred to me - I did the ****ing picking. :bird:

[Shaggy]

I was school cross country captain.

Mumsafan, Kaip, Maestro, Nobbylad and Rocket just fell off their chairs

[Neil Young]

I was school cross dressing captain.

What standard this time?

[disco]

Actually, I was house captain for cross country and athletics, didn't have a school captain as such.

It wasn't as organised as other sporting events, we'd basically enter the occasional county race vs other local schools. My best result was 20th-ish out of 250, probably 2nd or 3rd in my school.

I actually have an old school 'magazine' which shows I was 3rd in the 100m on Sports Day. The winner's time is 11.2, I was probably about 11.5 seconds, just about county standard (the winner entered national trials)

I'd struggle to run 50 metres in that time now
