Kevin Holland - Captain

Years played: 18

Position: Centre Forward

Team Nickname: Adam

Fact: Post hockey refreshments tend to get the better of me. What goes on tour stays on tour and this is more applicable now than ever! I can hold my own in the water and I can flick a bit.

Mark Rogers - Vice Captain & Treasurer

Years played: 40yrs

Position: Winger

Team Nickname: MR (Mr Reliable)

Fact: If the ref\'s decision has gone against us and Mark is in the pool, everyone in a 300m radius will know about it. Long after everybody has given up the argument Mark will continue to drown out anyone the ref included by insisting to shout louder. A solid player and the teams play maker.

Graham Tucker - Secretary

Years played: 256

Position: Winger

Team Nickname: Harold Shipman

Fact: You can\'t teach an old dog new tricks, and they don\'t come older than Graham! Stuck in his ways, but phenomenal breath holding - this guy has gills! Bit of a dirty player too so be ready to rumble!

Keith Spence - Chairman

Years played: 738

Position: Centre Back

Team Nickname: Not sure he\'s got one?!

Fact: Probably one of the physically strongest left handed players in the game. Despite decades of playing, Keith\'s presence is enough to take on anyone and usually they get demolished if they get in the way... or fouled! Another player who seems to not need oxygen.

Chris Clarke (Jr)- Captain of Vice

Years played: TBC

Position: Front Wing

Team Nickname: Gollum/Sméagol

Fact: Joker of the team who despite years of rejection is trying to establish a love-love relationship with Mark. They\'re like a married couple. Chris provides the pace to the front line and goes like the clappers from the off to the final buzzer. Except when he\'s got cramp - then e becomes a big girls blouse.

Chris Clarke (Snr) - Godfather of Vice

Years played: TBC

Position: Winger

Team Nickname: Flakey/Steptoe/Dirty Man

Fact: Father of Jr above but who has even more juvenile humour - and not many thought that was possible! In the pool Chris is the master of the pirouette. No one can turn on the puck like Chris can.

Andy Higgs - Blood Fan

Years played: 10

Position: Winger

Team Nickname: Ginge

Fact: Not too choosey about sleeping arrangements. Built like a tank and goes like a train. Getting tackled by Andy is like catching an avalanche and if you want to clear the puck from the tin you want to be passing to this man.

Simon Tucker - Territorial

Years played: TBC

Position: Centre Back

Team Nickname: Flymon

Fact: The most consistently annoying player on the team. Nothing in the world is more annoying than Simon when he\'s in annoying mode. Fortunately, once he\'s in the pool he can\'t speak and then he comes into his own. In true Tucker style he\'s developed into a formidable defender and can drive a puck through 6 players at once.

Vicki Risianova - Captain of Bruising

Years played: TBC

Position: Front Wing

Team Nickname: Not sure she\'s got one?!

Fact: Currently our only regular female player and is the team bruise collector. No one seems to pick up bruises like Vicki - and most of them tend to be Keith shaped! Vicki has huge stamina and game awareness. If you need Vicki to be there you know she\'ll be in the right spot at the right time. Vicki also represents GB at international level.

Rob Harrison - Southern Hemisphere Liaison Officer

Years played: 10

Position: Front Wing/Centre Forward

Team Nickname: Kewe/Voyeur

Fact: Despite only being at the club a matter of months Rob\'s quickly established his position as the teams voyeur and shoe smuggler. NZ trained Rob has brought fresh knowledge and ideas to the team. A powerful forward with skills to match.

James P - Enforcer

Years played: TBC

Position: Front Wing

Team Nickname: TBC

Fact: Having totally inconvenient shift patterns means James has his excuses at the ready not to play. Kidnapping is now deemed to be necessary to get him to play a match. James displayed the fastest learning curve of anyone I\'ve ever seen - he picked the sport up within 2-3 sessions. A rare left handed player and strong as an ox, James can accelerate past anything and wreak havoc on the opposition.

Jess Ansell - Welsh Hills

Years played: TBC

Position: Forward

Team Nickname: ...... pending!

Fact: A recent addition to the team, random Facebook messages aside Jess is fast becoming a formidable forward.

Kevin B - Legal Dept.

Years played: TBC

Position: Winger

Team Nickname: Pending ...

Fact: Having tasted hockey at uni many years ago Kevin has rejoined the sport and is developing fast.

Kevin Wing - Bentley Rhythm Ace.

Years played: 1

Position: Winger

Team Nickname: Pending ...

Fact: Only joined the club a few months back so he\'s learning from the teams experts. Unfortunately there aren\'t any so I\'m not sure what the future holds!

Jez Kent- Kryptonite phobic.

Years played: TBC

Position: Winger

Team Nickname: Pending ...

Fact: Jez is sensible. So sensible in fact I can only write sensible things about him and I\'m not used to that. Jez keeps the back line in line and makes a great defender. Jez is a player who is utterly consistent in linking the back row to the front and is the foundation of many of the counter attacks.

Elliott Kent - Superstreak.

Years played: TBC

Position: Front Wing

Team Nickname: Pending ...

Fact: Jez Jr is capable of going like the clappers. The only junior in the team Elliott has earned his place through enviable puck skills and speed. It can be said there\'s more meat on a sparrow\'s ankle but then those that say that are normally the fat ones left staring at his fins as he disappears into the distance.

Gavin D\'Ancey - Technicalist

Years played: TBC

Position: Front Wing

Team Nickname: Not sure he\'s got one?!

Fact: Getting Gav to a match is like getting blood out of a stone, but despite that he is the definition of tenacious. Gav sticks to the puck like wet bog roll on the ceiling. Not only that, he moves like a ricocheting bullet as he will turn on a sixpence without loss of speed.

Jeff Arpino - Not to be Discounted

Years played: TBC

Position: Front Wing

Team Nickname: TBC

Fact: The only person I know to have bought a car not realising the number plate on the front had a different registration to the back. With observational skills like that you\'d think Jeff might struggle to get involved in the game. But how wrong you\'d be! Jeff\'s positional play is spot on every game and they don\'t come more reliable than Jeff. A true gentleman who has never lost his temper or committed a foul.  Come to think of it why does he play with St. Albans?!

Jeff Puddy - Intermittent

Years played: TBC

Position: Winger

Team Nickname: Not sure on this one ...

Fact: Having gone into semi retirement Jeff makes periodic appearances just to show us he\'s not lost it and convince himself he has. As one of the club \'Originals\' along with Graham, Keith, Gavin and Phil, as many other clubs will testify, Jeff has been a key player for decades.

Phil Anderson - got the T-shirt

Years played: TBC

Position: Winger

Team Nickname: There\'s gotta be one!

Fact: Like Jeff, Phil turns up periodically to keep us on our toes. There\'s practically nothing St. Albans have achieved over the years that Phil hasn\'t been instrumental in. Having the skills to be a good all rounder aren\'t limited to the pool. Several hundred witnessed his ability to bust some moves on the podium in a Sheffield nightclub.

James Morgan - Satellite

Years played: TBC

Position: Winger

Team Nickname: My mines gone blank! What is it ...........Grilla?

Fact: Having moved north with work James will pop up on occasions to punch through several of us as a little reminder that despite modern day tacticians frowning on the brutal, unsophisticated technique of just bashing the puck through, it is actually quite effective.

Martin Reed - Mr Octopush

Years played: 20

Position: Winger

Team Nickname: Laptop

Fact: Following a horrific hand injury which nearly resulted in Martin not being able to play for a whole two successive sessions Martin donned a second glove on his none playing hand, grabbed a left stick and began playing with that. The rest as they say is history. Now fully recovered he is the only player who plays with a double ended stick and a glove on each hand. Nothing confuses the competition more. Curently living as a tax exile in a secret Swiss hide away. We think.
