Well PREnders, in the depths of pre-season, when there is precious little else to report other than the usual propaganda that 'So & So' is "flying on the track" and 'So & So' "has really balked up" and 'So & So' is "training the house down" (although a big thanks to our training reporters who provide a much more critical eye)... I offer you the most trivial of threads.
To wit - the all-time RFC line-up of silliest names (and actually playing them in their correct positions). All of the following did play senior football for the yellow and black. I am particularly proud of the half 'back' line - certainly one that could be relied on for a rearguard action.
If anyone can better this team, I would be most interested to see their line up.
FB: Alan Nutter Donald Don Ray Bloodworth
HB: Phil Bottams Fred Krakouer David Buttifant
C: Loyal Oakley Eric Zschech Renato Dintinosante
HF: William Ripper August Petzke William Wisdom
FF: Bruce Tschirpig Percy Martini Edo Benetti
R: David Honeybun Renato Ricci Cyril Lilburne
INTER: Arthur Barr-Kemp Dr William Collopy Gary Frangalas Angus MacIsaak
PS. For whatever reason the centre-half-back's name comes out as 'Krakouer' when in fact it should read 'Cra**er' - you know, the word that means pooh. The automatic PRE edit function has made the change.
