Funniest coach trip memory: When Coler and Baggy unhitched a boat at the Reading services and tried to tie it to the coach, failed this so pushed it to the top of the highest hill they could find or when Fayme the old physio, fell down the stairs on the bus after drinking her Bacardi, coke and another liquid which will remain nameless….
Favourite Dings player to play along side and why: Current player has to be Wheeler, always makes you give that little bit extra. Of all time, Barrie Cole, taught me a lot about playing National League rugby and was always on hand if I needed advice during matches and training
