NUAFC 1968-2018

introducing himself to John with the seven deadliest words in the
English language - "Good morning. I am your new
neighbour."
He turned up for training at the AFFCo ground
with Billy McCaig's 3rd Division side but was quickly spotted by
Dave Hall and moved into the Northern League side.
John has always tried to emulate his idol, Sir Stanley
Matthews, the wizard of the dribble, but so far has only
managed to get his shirt-front wet!
JASON CARGO
Jeff was a fitness freak gaining his running style from
the Roadrunner cartoon characters.
He can to N arra when the Club amalgamated
with AFFCo. After one year he moved back to Claudelands
w h e r e h e p r o m p t l y b r o k e h i s collarbone and had to sit
the season out. He still topscored with one goal!
Back with the Green Machine the following year Jeff
played in every position conceivable, plus a few we never heard
of. He has coached the Ladies team, the Waikato Women, has
been Club Captain and Club President.
A brief fluffy with a hairdresser brought him offs
from the Robinson Jam Company to feature his as the golliwog on
their jar labels.
A powerhouse player with a strong shot, he just
revelled in the chances to go twin striker with Mike Heappey so
they could compete in seeing who could knock the most pine
cones off the trees behind the goal.
STEVE WILLIAMS
Alias Power Pole and (how original) Clutch.
Jason played football for Otorohanga College, then
Ngaruawahia High then Fairfield College (not all at the same
time). He then spent five seasons with Narra in the
Northern league, spending one of the matches in
position as a replacement upright when a goalpost broke.
He balanced his soccer with squash, tennis and table
tennis and was a very unflappable opponent, except when
beaten by his father Malcolm at Table tennis (or when
someone eats his jandals).
His boyhood idols were Stephen (his brother) and
Donald Duck. As a Surveyor he was invaluable to his firm
as they used him as the sighting pole when working in deep
valleys.
He was always accompanied by his best friend
Paddlefoot, a cat of no resemblance.
JEFF TOZER
D r o o p y D r a w e r s w a s b o r n i n Liverpool and
played as a defender, having proved a disaster at any other
position in the team. His fullback role was one in which
goalkeeper Sean Crowe would have given his right arm to
have Steve removed from!
His rise to infamy began in the club's Waikato 2nd
Division side with a brief stopover in the Reserves before
notching a place in the Northern League team. His brief
stay in the reserved caused a sudden rash of ulcers by
Sandy MacDonald in goal and Steve was forced to move on!
He was a powerful defender and exceptionally strong
in the air (often cured by air freshener) and followed in the
footsteps of Yogi Bear (having the figure to match).
Steve loves his football and each year was the top
scorer for the opposition.
It has only lately been revealed that Steve's transfer fee
from the English Football Association was two stale pies.
Initially he turned down the offer but, when Maxine was
thrown in for free, Steve conditionally accepted - Maxine
had to leave her voice behind!
The human bulldozer, nicknamed Rooter when 12
years old.
Played for Claudlands Rovers at 15 f or two seasons
and stated f or AFFCo Rangers way back when they were boy
scouts. Rangers won the first Cambridge Tournament in 1971
a n d w e r e s c o r n f u l l y c a l l e d 'Dreamers'.
