PUNT ROAD END | Richmond Tigers Forum

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.
