NUAFC 1968-2018

2006
Waikato A Division - Reserves 2006
DANIEL SCAWBOARD (Scoreboard)
Playing anywhere this man is young,
gifted and white. Dan has the talent to
go a long way in football. Unfortunately
he has a touch of Abbo’ about him and
he went walk-about two-thirds of the
way into the season. He has yet to
commit to a full year in senior football
(or to a phone call to his coach).
JULIAN POPE (Jules I)
Jules has taken a back seat from his
football this season due to his teaching
commitments. Always a diligent trainer
and a committed left-back, his cry of “I
know!” has been sadly missed for the
better part of the season.
ANDY BELL (Roo)
This utility player has made more comebacks
than Mohammed Ali. Slowly
slipping into retirement Roo has been a
great asset when the team has
struggled to field 11 players. His play
has been outstanding whenever called
upon. He is planning yet another comeback
in the Auckland reserves League
for 2007 (the Second Coming?).
JULIAN LAW (Jules II)
A newcomer to the team this season,
Julian has quickly adapted to the roundball
game. Big, strong and mobile, Julian
has found his niche playing left-half and
has put in many superb performances.
He has provided the strikers (and
Thomo) with some sublime crosses, and
raised the Ressies stakes as the bestlooking
team in the Club. Most
Improved Player.
JOHNNY BELL (JB, Cruiser)
Sadly, this left-half has passed his useby
date, although still can show
flourishes of his past grandeur,
although not as often as he would like.
The shock of playing in the third team
fired him up for the remaining Ressies
games. He is still waiting for Richie and
Gordy (Senior Coaches) to revive his
career!
ANDREW CATLEY (Catfish)
It has been a welcome return to the
Reserves for our centre-midfielder, who
has been missing in action for the past
few years as he played with the first
team. He has accumulated some extra
poundage but has lost none of his flair
for shooting wide of the mark. He is
currently front-runner for the most
spectacular goal this season (a 30-meter
back-pass against Cambridge. Squad
Member of the Year.
TIM STEERS (Tim the Brit)
Another newcomer to the Ressies and
to the Club. Tim-the-Brit is a live-wire
mid-fielder who has tremendous
stamina. So much so that he covers
every position on the park at the same
time! When not footballing Tim does
world tours of Hamilton with his band.
Yet another musician in the Club.
PATRICK GRIFFIN
(Paddy, Mrs Griffin)
This mid-fielder is a man of few words
off the park and even fewer on it. Paddy
has come into his own this season,
starting in more games than in years
past. He is always capable of finding
himself in great scoring positions quite
regularly. He has shone in centre-field
and is currently taking goal-shooting
lessons from Catley.
BRYDON RETTER (“B”)
Currently the highest goal-corer (1+1+1)
Brydon has been a regular with the
Reserves for a number of seasons and is
now considered a veteran (despite
being only 15). Along with paddy, Ziggy,
Andrew and Ryan (plus the rest) he
makes up a long list of talent that marty
Kerr-Bell has uncovered from St Paul’s
Collegiate. Brydon has been used and
abused as a utility player as well as a
bench-impact player this year. Top Goal
Scorer Award.
