Interview with a Cobra

The fresh face of Crocs for the 05/06 Damian Seeto has quickley established himself as the embodiment of Crocs’ free flowing, fast paced, champagne rugby. As well as this the “Emporer Penguin” has become a style icon famed for his brazen appearences in his signature Red Shirt.

Disgraced Blue Peter presenter Richard Bacon has a night to remember with Hoff and Otty down in the smoke!!

Where are they now?

The Gordon Ross Interview aka “Interview with a cobra” mentioned his debut against Leeds on 5/9/92, (click on the picture for the team of that day); after some investigative reporting by “The Cobra” we can now reveal the current wherabouts of the “Pigs of ’92”

Interview with a Cobra

The 3rd installment in this series sees our roving reporter catch up with Gordon “Braveheart” Ross.

Rossy made his debut against Leeds 4th on 05/09/92 playing for the famed “pigs” ; he scored his first tries (2) for the club against West Park Bramhope on 10/10/92 – not known for his try scoring feats 2 seems a good return, but they were in plentiful supply that day – Hanson Haigh scored 4!

Another interesting and little known fact about Rossy is that he is good freinds with ex Scotland Hooker Kenny Milne – but like Uncle Albert from “Only Fools and Horses” – he doesn’t like to talk about it!

Another one bites the dust!

Heads turned this week, and no doubt a few stomachs as well, as Richard ‘The Real Deal’ Wheale confirmed he’s off the market.

The lovely Claire agreed to become a Wheale during a recent weekend trip to Rome. Richard’s strategy of plying her with as much Chianti as possible clearly paid off.

Like all of history’s successful tyrants, he stalked his pray until he could smell weakness, vulnerability, and a small trace of fear. Seizing the moment, he nervously popped the question, cleverly waiting until she was lashed, and the rest was just cream cheese.

The Binns family are reportedly seeking legal advice.

Congratulations from everyone at the club to the happy couple.

The bands front man Steve Glitter screamed “Crocs is like a second home to Glitter and Twisted, they gave us our first break.

We know we owe them, so I guarantee the band will put on the greatest show you will have ever seen in your life!”

Phil says “Get in the Buster Club you losers!”

The organisers of the the Crocs ‘Buster’ have enlisted the help of 80’s crooner Phil Collins to raise the profile of the scheme.

A Spokesman for the club said ‘Phil was delighted to help and has always been a keen supporter of Crossleyan rugby.’

Collins, famous for his easy listening, inoffensive, and some may say, bland style of music played the title role of Buster Edwards in the 1988 classic in which he stole a train load of cash, but ultimately, stole our hearts as well.

“I’ve got a groovy kind of love for The Crocs and The Buster draw is no exception. Nothing compares to it. Sometimes you feel you’re against all odds of winning, and then others you can just feel it in the air tonight. “

When asked why more players hadn’t joined the buster Phil couldn’t understand it. “Honestly, I’m in the land of confusion over this one, I can’t work it out”

“Stone the Crows, when some geezer told me that less than 25% of the current players are involved you could ‘ave knocked me over with a feather. Cor blimey, get a form off the Guvnor you muppets sharpish!

Aging Phil still gets asked about the last time he had ‘one more night’ at the Crocs. He was lured into Maine St. on the promise of an easy lover, and that that no jacket was required. A few Aftershocks later and he was in the land of confusion. Sex Pest Phil then staggered on to the dance floor trying to demonstrate his invisible touch on women more than half his age. His excuse of “I can’t dance” didn’t wash, and was soon ejected.

The Warsaw Pact

Congratulations to Mr & Mrs Benjamin George Ralph, from all at The

Crocs. As they sit on a beach somewhere basking in the sun, we too can bask in their holy matrimony.

An excellent day and night was had by all, and Ben and Jules were overjoyed to see so many from the club there.

Derby County were also represented at the evenings proceedings by their manager George Burley. The sociable Scot was one of the last to leave, and a source close to the club confirmed he’d “had the time of his life”.

Ill informed members at Crocs were worried that one of their star new recruits was actually Nadia the Portu-geezer.

The rumour began circling Calderdale and Kirklees, faster than Lisa Riley in a chocolate race, that star full back Fabulous Phil was the winner of the hit channel 4 show. Fortunately the confusion lasted only a couple of seconds before they realised that it was actually Nadia who was ‘Fabulous’ and was definately the deserving winner.
