Andy Van Cuylenburg

Nickname: One Rule

Playing Position: Defender

He is...in charge (sort of)

Profile:

In mid September 2003 a young Northern (fake) Irish man arrived at RHULFC trials, he brought with him a mane of luminous ginger/orange hair (hmm sounds familiar), an abundance of arrogance, football skills that weren't quite on a level with Seb Bell and a beautiful silver ring. Under the tutelage/castigation of the match box and snake bite Andy emerged, three years later, a bettered, changed man; all that remained was the ring - only just mind!! With his development as a human being so inextricably linked with Royal Holloway Football Club the only option for Andy was to join the Old Boys, and that he did. A year of deep defending, slide tackling, headers and raillery (a tenuous link to our sponsors at the time), compounded Andy's belief that he wanted to lead this loyal band of merry men, yet he knew he wasn't ready. As a devout Christian (a virgin till marriage don't you know), Andy followed the example set by his hero Jesus and left the security of the Old Boys and entered into the comparative wilderness of travelling. He returned an even more rounded individual, man tits and all. But it was his psychological transformation into a leader of men and the birth of his alter ego "One Rule van Cuylenburg" that will hopefully see the club in good hands for many years to come.
