End Of Season 2008 22-99 Men's Brighton Rocks XI
We are the Champions!!!!! (my friend)
The Mighty Brighton Rocks have conquered the barbarian hordes of Sussex Div 3 blending the euthusiasm of youth and the wisdom of experience
This seasons (17 wins in a row) Roll of Honour
Matt Commin - No nickname despite being relentlessly positive and trying to get the his team mates to answer Cambridge University entrance exam questions so he can look more intellgent than anybody else.
Ben 'Clown Shoes' Ota - Despite the calm exterior and hippy style flowerly bandana, woe be tide any oppo forward who stands in Ben's way when the red mist comes down. Umpires should check he's not carrying a knife just in case.
Jamie 'JaJa' Morris - Jamie has come of age this season under the tutorledge of his 2 Jedi masters - The Ying of Hockey skills from Wappy, The Yang of dress sense and dodgy facial hair from Pele.
Myles 'Kobe' Ford - Never lets a lack of ability stop him from telling everybody else what to do.
Pete 'Wappy' Smales - Our indispensible captain and sweeper yet we always win without him. Started to develop the excellent habit of telling everyone to play easy passes before giving the ball to the opposition centre forward at the top of the D.
Will Hall-Smith - the Frog in a Blender apparently went to Brighton College although you'd never know from his name.
Alex 'Pocket Battleship' Coyle - Alex has spent most of the season improving his showboating in a bid to be the World's smallest Harleem Globetrotter. It's only a matter of time before he starts demanding a mirror on the sidelines so he check himself out.
Phil 'The Power' Yates - Phil got so desparate for a matey nickname he had to Wikipedia Gareth Ledrum for advice.
Alistair 'Air Shot' Thomson - Plays for us when he can't get tickets for Leeds Utd.
Jack 'Kojak' Poulter - Once getting over the shock of the ball coming towards him, The Pocket Rocket likes to tease Kieron with crosses that are just out of his reach.
Mo King - The Silver Fox in the Box.
Kurt 'IT Crowd' Takawanda - You can tell Kurt in Zimbabwean because his debts increase 1000% per week. Kurt's claim to fame is that he was once quoted in the Argus as Kurt Kackhand.
Andy 'The Zone' Stewart - Andy is quite intense (just ask Alex Wonder) only joining the team at push back after a carefully selected programme of pre match motivational music. Andy's iPod classics feature the Ministry of Sound Chillout, Tina Turner's Simply the Best and Iain Paisley Live from Belfast City Hall.
Kieron 'Ginger Pele' McGee - Kieron has joined the Rocks as part of BHHC community liason scheme where homeless people get to play hockey. Apparently Ginger isn't a complexion, its a state of mind.
Alex Wonder - The Rocks Flying Dutchman. Misschien zou u uw stok moeten kiezen op voor Andy Stewart u slaat.
Big Thanks to Jive Bunny, James, Rob Dreadful, Mark, Pete and Hugh for stepping up when needed.
