In part two, Tim is left out by Berkshire, but goes on to win a Twickenham cup final with Harlequins!

Having given up on football, Tim had a dream which would initially be dashed.

"Then I saw on the notice board, 'Berkshire - players required.'

"I'm going to put my name up for that. Tim Bell.

"Two days later I went to look at the results and there was no Tim Bell. I'm thinking to myself, 'why, I'm a good player?'

"So I thought, I'm going to speak to my teacher. He was a tall lad who always rocked back and forth with his hands in his pockets, looking down on you.

"Excuse me sir?

"What do you want, Bell?'

"I noticed I'm not on the board for Berkshire?'

"He turned round to me and said: 'Well to be honest, Bell, you're not good enough and you never will be.'

"I thought: 'Did I hear right? Did he just say, I'm not good enough and I never will be? I was gutted and thought 'sod that game, I'm not going to play rugby any more.'

"Off I went, but a few weeks later I had a chap by the name of Joe Bell, my brother, a very effeminate one who played in the backs, who said 'why don't you come to this club?' I still can't pronounce Redingensians.

"So off I went, joined this club, played with a load of guys, trained, jumped on a load of people, got to wear some sexy socks and I loved it.

"I played more, got better and better and thought, 'this is fantastic, this is the life for me.'

"Eventually, playing in a 7s tournament, Harlequins came down to play and I had a good game against them, and the coach came up to me and said 'do you want to play rugby for us?'

"I said, 'Well, I play for Redingensians on a Saturday, but he said ‘we play on Sundays.'

"Having been knocked back at school, and now playing at Redingensians, I ended up playing for Harlequins and was part of a John Player Cup final victory.

"But I still feel extremely blessed to be part of this club."
