In this edition of 60 seconds the club speaks to the main man Doug Wilson. Born and bred an Old G, Doug and the wider Wilson clan (anyone know many of them there actually are?) have been at Old Gs for life, with Doug having come through the Old Gs youth ranks to play for the 3s, the super 2s and in recent years the first team. What he lacks in stature he more than makes up for on the pitch, punching way above his weight and loves a tackle.

As the only senior player still able to fit into an U11s shirt, Doug gets stuck in to all things at the club, is never one to moan or complain, loves a pint post match and embraces the social side of the game. However, he does need to up his beard game.

He spared us some of his time.

Name: Doug Wilson

Age: 28

Position: Scrum half

Old Gs Best Mate?
Loads to choose from but I’ll have to say the dirty Spaniard, Kevin Spain…… a great captain, an average player, but could always rely on him to be at the Drayman for a drink after work (until he moved up north and betrayed us all)

Favourite Old Gs rugby memory?
Hands down, scoring a try on my 1st team debut in front of a huge crowd. Loved that I scored down the wing running past the Old G’s mob. One I’ll never forget. Plus the fact I haven’t scored since makes it pretty memorable.

Favourite team to play against?
Gravesend. Love beating them.
