Graeme has a senior Trowbridge RFC career of over twenty years and if you cut him in half would bleed dark blue and gold!

This is a squad that many would want to be selected in but only the very best make the cut! Eddie Jones would be proud of Graeme's 'finishers'.

1. Doug Little - was only good for scrummaging by the time he left Devizes and came to Trowbridge but could still do a job. Massive head as well.

2. Jack Hanham - the most talented player to come out of Trowbridge while I’ve been around. Equally good in the back row or at scrum half.

3. Zoltan Szabo - I once heard an opposition fullback say “oh shit” out loud and run in the opposite direction when Szab was in full flight bearing down on him.

4. Bod Lawes - quality player and decent on the beer as well. Needs to be the 2005-ish vintage so we’ve got at least one line out option.

5. Mark Durant - Mr Consistent on the field and anchorman for our season-long undefeated boat race team from circa 2002 off it.

6. Alex Huscroft - should have played a lot more games than he did. Never got involved with rucking and mauling but a great ball carrier and hard tackler.

7. Michael Johnston - honorable mentions for Barry Combes and Jamie Little here but the rest of the pack is so ugly I had to pick the handsome Irishman despite only playing a handful of games together.

8. Dan Smith - I played with Dan for various sides through the junior age groups and into seniors together. A class player but prone to incontinence when drinking.

9. Tom Hanham - only selected because his brother is playing hooker - nice passer of the ball but terrible on the beer.

10. Richard Jones - great rugby player who could read a game and was deceptively quick. Zero kicking game for a fly half

11. Mike Wareham - one for some of our older members. Brilliant winger who flew Hercules’ for a living. Looked like Freddie Mercury.

12. Simon Leat - 1st XV captain when I made my debut. Surprisingly skillful and never allowed the fact that his opposite number had already passed the ball stop him from making his tackles.

13. Adam Sullivan - nearly selected him on the wing or in the backrow due to his inability to pass off his left hand but there was too much class there.

14. Dilly Dowling - had serious wheels in his prime and scored tries for fun if he could keep his shoulders from dislocating. I suppose he can drink ok as well.

15. Ashley Chalk - I was just about hanging on to the first team when Chalky came through. He’s done alright.

Finishers:

16. Adam Misselbrook - valuable addition to any boat race team.

17. Matt Dudman - just in case it looks like it’s gonna kick off.

18. Ady Moodie - great scrummager with hands like feet.

19. Lee McClurg - thrower of the best punch I’ve ever seen on a rugby field at Devizes. The guy was snoring before he hit the deck.

20. Greg Ashford - great tourist, unless it’s your first time.

21. Rob Russell - if you wanted quality service from your 9 then Robbie provided it every time.

22. Nicky Little - the bulldozer.

23 Mark Blake - pound for pound the best tackler I ever played with, but has the worst tattoo in TRFC history.

Thanks for your time G, good luck trying to manage this bench!
