Hooker, come back row, come ginger ninja spares the club a minute of his time....

As the feature continues the club catches up with 1st team hooker, come back row, come utility player Andy Kidd. Son of former Old Gs skipper JK, and known for his ginger locks and non-stop energy on the pitch Kiddy is gradually becoming an integral member of the 1st team squad. He loves a tackle, and is even rumoured to have made more than Coomber in a game – which Coomber took to heart. Despite playing American Football at university – he thought the body armour made him look stacked and hard – he is now back in the rugby fold and mixing it with the big boys in the front row. He spared a minute of his time…

Favourite Film
Four Lions - Rubber Dingy Rapids!!!! (or Love Actually)

Favourite Food
Roast Pork

Who is your Hero/Idol?
Unfortunately, it’s got to be my Dad. Apparently a lot better at drinking than rugby though.

Favourite Rugby Moment
Winning the Kent (vase, cup, plate, bowl, fork something like that) with Old G's U17s. Even if my drop goal went less than a meter in the air.

Person you would most like to be at Old Gs and why
Ryan Lockyer... The best drunken staying power you'll ever see.

Person you would least like to be at Old Gs and why
Tommo Senior, only guy in the club with more of a broken finger than mine, and I’d rather it stays that way.

Best player you have played with
Hate to say it but Coomber. A little more skill would help him though.

Professional rugby player you would compare yourself to
James Haskell, pure power and skill. Almost identical.

If you were not a rugby player what would you be?
Bored.

Interesting fact about you that no one at Old G's knows
Not only was I born in South Africa making me a part prawn. But also part Welsh. Hence why I’ve got a restraining order from all schools, and sheep farms.

Which Actor/Actress would pay you in a film about your life?
Rupert Grint - got to keep it ginger family.

(If you had to) Which 3 Old G's players would you take to a remote desert island with you? And why?

Onions George: Lesser known third team player, and has a horrible habit of playing for Vigo. But rumour has it the man can scrump an onion from any terrain. So food would be forever plentiful.

Polish: He has already escaped onto an Island. So hopefully his expertise and knowledge will help us to escape back into the UK

Jordan, Tyler or Bruce: Whoever is the youngest.
