Subject: 'Cult' Teams

There is a thread running on Gwlad (the Wales version of this, for the uninitiated) about 'cult' teams. In other words, teams of players who have achieved cult status among the crowd by being crowd pleasers or characters or whatever - not necessarily but perhaps also through talent. I was thinking last night about my Aber nominees and have come up with these so far - fill in the gaps or suggest alternatives.

1 Wayne Ford - just for looks on the opposition faces when he walks on. And that time he collapsed to the floor for no reason vs Swansea in '95 - "ooh me ankle..." (See the video - fantastic - its like he'd been shot from the stand.)
2 ?
3 Brandon Cripps - where do you start?
4 Stuart Nunnerley
5 Mike Whitson ("I was nowhere near him ref, anyway he's still breathing, oh sorry Derwyn love, were those your nuts..?)
6 Bunter - "Intimidates the hell out of his own team, god knows what he does to the opposition" Quote: Anonymous committee man, 1993.
7 Geraint Gladwyn the Positional Rugby Brain. ("How did he appear over there for that tackle, Dad? He's got his own tunnels under the pitch son")
8 Ross Thompson/John Williams? ('Hard as a sack of spanners' or 'put out the fag in time to run someone over'?)
9 Rossy - see below. Or Rupert?
10 Byron - just because its hilarious when two of the hardest nutters on the field are the two smallest at nine and ten.
11?
12?
13?
14?
15 Worzel

There will be others but these are my memories. What about when it was in black and white? ;-)

Over to you lot...fire away..I reckon we are producing one or two new ones as we speak this year..
