A little bit extra |
Tours to date... |
|
Mark's our captain, having created, handpicked and then moulded
the team to the impressive bunch you see here today! Got something against
tumbleweed though... and very touchy about his photo.. still with looks
like that, you have to make a special effort... :-) |
AFCENT/AFNORTH: |
|
|
Simon's been with the team since it's beginnings - definately
not the most talented player in the team, but we just can't shake him
loose... the definition of dedication, infact, he's now our Premier-ranking 'phile!??! |
AFCENT/AFNORTH: |
|
|
Keith's our Keeper - and always seems to be available to help out
other teams too.. Not sure it's the Team Spirit we usually run with.. |
AFCENT/AFNORTH: |
|
|
Daz's still spending more time on the pitches than anyone else
- shame he had to do all that umpiring... a rule book should be next
on his shopping list - still, it's the thought that counts! |
AFCENT/AFNORTH: |
|
|
Russ is responsible for many of the photos on this site - and a
fair few more that hint towards his state of mind on tour... apparantly
it's the ceilings and floors that are his kodak moments.. |
AFCENT/AFNORTH:
|
|
|
Beaker's been with us a while now, look at the dates he's
played and the results we've been getting - cynics might call it coincidence,
but that'd just be niave.. He might have a baby face, but (supposedly)
he's grown up where it counts.. |
AFCENT/AFNORTH: |
|
|
Steve's got some great stories to tell.. over and over again -
just ask him.. and because I'm sick of explaining it - to clear up his
nickname - it's hinting at his standards.. ie. lower than a snakes belly... |
AFCENT/AFNORTH: |
|
|
Second year with us, and still going strong - with ample energy to
burn! Closet geek with a cowboy hat.. doesn't look like it, so ask
him about the number he wears.. some things aren't that perfect
after all... |
AFCENT/AFNORTH: |
|
|
Or 'B&Q' - no need to be stitched up, it's all DIY as far
as he's concerned.. a great man for ruining himself... fortunately
for us, after he's killed himself, there's still room for the occasional
bit of sterling hockey... |
AFCENT/AFNORTH: |
|
|
Mouche's 'inspiration' for themes has been the key to many a fine
tour - and more than makes up for his er.. 'unique' style of play |
AFCENT/AFNORTH: |
|
|
Lily's back from a few years break from the team - hope that's
not personal - but a welcome return both on and off the pitch. With
sound determination in both his game and keeping the social bits running
smoothly.. thanks be to Lily! |
AFCENT/AFNORTH: |
|
|
Matt's tours just seem to be a series of 'highs' and 'lows' - his
highs he'll happily 'talk you through' and you'll have to wait for a
low for him to stop... |
AFCENT/AFNORTH:
|
|
|
Fresh and keen, Junior's been a great ass(et) to us.. well, he would have been
had he got any rest on tour.. Good team spirit tho - straight off to harass another team -
a well received addition to our squad! |
AFCENT/AFNORTH: |
|
|
The 3rd original member and fine creator of the 'Puckster' - Cider,
Black, Lager, Guiness and Redbull - a bit of a 'pickmeup' but not ideal
for playing a decent game afterwards.. somehow picked up a knack for
scoring this year too?! 3's the magic number... |
AFCENT/AFNORTH: |
|
|
Schmee's goals are frequent and quick - but don't worry if you
miss one because, like Matt, he'll always be around to talk you through
it again, and again, later on... Coming through! |
AFCENT/AFNORTH: |
|
|
It's nice to have our Andy back after a bit of a break, altho some things just don't
change - the transformation that occurs after the Grolsch has kicked in has to be seen -
have a look at the tour photos! |
|

AFCENT/AFNORTH: |
|
|
A one-time-wonder for us, but a regular on the touring calendar.. chances are
if you're a fan of tours, you'll have met, and be a fan of his.. Luckily it only
happens a couple of times a year.. |
AFCENT/AFNORTH: |
|
|
Si |
Another ex-Knight joins the cause.. he hasn't had the pleasure yet, so no gossip
to add... but from his past performance, it's only a matter of time.. |
AFCENT/AFNORTH: |
|
Alex |
At long last 1/2 of Mark's young lads joined us! Bringing a breath of fresh air to an aging
team.. we did think about how that effected the average age but decided against that train of thought.. |
Milton Keynes: |
|
Liam |
The younger 1/2 of Mark's pack also made his debut... reminding me of me at his age.. well, more
of just being his age really.. I can't play hockey like him even now..! |
Milton Keynes: |
|
Triv (or our Teabag-Manian Devil) toured with us for a few (hyperactive!) years before moving on - definately got a lot of energy to burn - what a liability..! :) |
AFCENT/AFNORTH: |
|
|
This guy looks as good on the pitch as off it - earning him other
stupidly clever names along the line of 'Catalogue Man'.. our very own
Silver Fox... |
AFCENT/AFNORTH: |
|
|
Another singleton on the tours front, but he served his brief time well - helping establish us early on, he spent his time loitering around the goal, never scored tho.. |
AFCENT/AFNORTH: |
|
|
Eats shoots and leaves... What more can we say about Phil - one grace about drinking with him 2 nights in row is that after the first one, he'll flake early on the 2nd... |
AFCENT/AFNORTH: |
...and here's the X-Phillies, Past and Present:

A little bit extra |
Tours to date... |
|
The baby of the squad - and an suprisingly good player (for her age!), thoroughly enjoying herself both on and off the pitch.. but haven't seen her score for a while.. oh, bit of a devil as a DJ too.. |
Milton Keynes: |
|
|
The team's 'little sister' - well, the one we all love to hate.. :-) That's not entirely true, we couldn't be mean about such a X-Phillie... well.. ;) |
Milton Keynes: |
|
|
Our first 'Phillie' - but getting harder to recruit her services for the team each year now.. obviously in demand, and well worth trying to keep hold of! |
Milton Keynes: |
|
|
Jude |
Swiped with her partner in crime from Stevenage - no honour amongst thieves and all that - a great debut performance.. you should have seen the size of her smile when she first put on the coveted red/orange strip.. |
Milton Keynes: |
|
Foxy |
Ah.. Foxy.. What to say about this young 'Philie.. ;-) She's already spent many a tour in our company, so about time she got inside one of our shirts.. and I hope the pleasure wasn't all ours.. |
Milton Keynes: |
|
Another one we struggle to get hold of - but it doesn't stop us trying... in more ways than one.. and probably more often than we should too... but a welcome addition to any touring side! |
Milton Keynes: |
|
|
Jules hasn't been on top form recently due to injuries, but still a little gem on the social side.. could go on to say: bright, well cut, and dazzling - but that would be too cheesey.... |
Milton Keynes: |
|
|
Our latest recruit, and Mongoose's better half - nicely adding another log to the 'no couples on tour' fire.. still, you know what they say; if you can't beat them.. |
Milton Keynes: |
|
|
An avid member of our 'touchline society' on the last tour - on loan from the Eurochicks - and providing vital support for those 'Philes who need a bit of a 'pick-me-up'.. her company always a pleasure.. |
Cyprus: |
|
|
Terry joined us with Kris - from Eurochicks too - for Cyprus, and what a deal we got! Goals-a-plenty! Memory's a little hazy from the sun, so no gossip - but am sure there'll be a next time! |
Cyprus: |
|
|
They say it's the quiet ones you have to watch.. NOT TRUE.. Sue's not exactly quiet, and we enjoyed watching her on tour! Very enthusiastic, and some seriously big grins.. still, at least she stayed within the team.... ;-) |
Cyprus: |
|
|
Lou |
Another debut performance, another Knight pinched for the cause... if only I could imitate her 'oowwwww' noises on here.. so, what can I say.. apart from that she keeps her socks on (apparantly!!) |
Milton Keynes: |
|
Cookie |
Another of our 'One-Tour Wonders'.. well, she came on one tour anyway! Things did quieten down in the team just after she moved on to pastures new (no reflection on the Cows!), but we can still hear her angelic voice echoing over the pitches... |
AFCENT/AFNORTH: |
|
Another young er.. 'lady' from Stevenage... we just can't seem to shake them loose! Still, another great addition who'll hopefully be back next year - when we've had 12months to recover.. |
Milton Keynes: |
|
|
Nothing to report yet.. seems to be playing a cunning game.. will be keeping a closer eye on her this year, so should be updating this soon! Watch this space.. |
Milton Keynes: |
|
|
Jo |
She's played amongst us for a while now, so we decided to let her have a go playing with us for a change - and we're sooo glad she did, bringing her own special blend of mischief and hockey.. Lets just hope she'll be back for more... |
Milton Keynes: |
|
Ah, Maz.. sorry - will be back with another bit of inspiration in the near future... last one was a bit dodgy and didn't pass the censors.. sorry! |
East Grinstead: |
|
|
Caroline |
Another one I'm waiting for gossip/inspiration about seeing as I wasn't on this tour either... will be back soon! |
East Grinstead: |
|
Vikki |
Another 'unknown' - I wasn't at her only tour, and others seem a bit shy in supplying any gossip.. very disappointing.. but it's early days! |
East Grinstead: |
