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 Andrew 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 Andrew was to join the Old Boys, that he did. A year of deep defending, slide tackling, headers and
raillery (a tenuous link to our sponsors at the time), compounded Andrew'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 first team in good hands for many years to come.
