Year joined: 2010.
Role: Marketing and Senior Squad Manager.
Occasional ‘Flag Dude’.
Best rugby memory: I’ve been lucky to be involved in two promotion-winning sides as a manager with RAMS which will live with me forever – but winning the OBB league Div. 2 with my U16s and playing one game with Charlie on Boxing Day are standouts.
Worst rugby memory: Probably playing 20 minutes of the first half and 20 of the second with no memory of any of it (including the half-time talk) playing for Hatfield Poly in the morning before the France vs England game in the 1991 – having been double knee dropped by my own fullback cover tackling the opposition winger.
No HeadCase protocols then – very glad we have them now!
Favourite food: Chinese – followed by anything from the OBR kitchen as I seem to eat there more during the week than home.
Favourite drink: Coffee.
Favourite travel destination: Antigua – Cocobay. Heaven!!
Favourite Rams try: Wow that’s hard, but Jak’s try vs Henley is the one. The build-up pre-game in the changing room was electric, the buzz in the dugout massive and the support from the #RAMILY outstanding.
Favourite ever try: Jason Robinson in the 2003 World Cup.
Favourite ever player(s): My Dad (Saracens 1959-60) and Charlie Maxwell.
Favourite current player: Any and all of the boys/men and girls/ladies at RAMS!
Other hobbies: Errrrrr???
Favourite TV show: Lucifer.
Favourite musician: At the moment I’m enjoying listening to Tedeschi Trucks Band and Tenille Townes.
Favourite song: Free by Ultra Nate.
Favourite rugby ground(s): Redruth has a massive feeling of history and a lovely welcome (off the pitch).
And then OBR obviously.
Second team: Saracens.
Favourite other sports: Cricket.
One rule change you'd make in rugby: I’d try and make the laws more transparent (I’m glad to have an Ash in the dugout to try and explain decisions).
Also, I’d try and have a doctor available for all Level Three games to ascertain if a player is injured (or not) to limit gamesmanship in subs.
Best thing about Rams RFC: #RAMILY - nuff said!
