Profiles - Tom George, Sam Hawke, Oli Lamb, John Grey

'Furious' Tom George
'Furious' Tom George, Hands captain and, as such, greatest man alive, season 2001-02. Tom knew none of the Hands, but phoned up and asked to play just because he had heard of our genius. Incredible really. We are very glad that he did - although it took us a while to become glad, because as soon as he turned up, Tom set about trying to hurt us, and thus earn his fearsome nickname. His first act on the Downs was to put his forearm in Pool's balls, to everyone but Pool's delight, he did Hullis the next week, then he ripped several people's shirts. Furious has become a useful fullback cum wing - his defensive qualities and wiry strength would bring much to any Hands side.

Sam Hawke Esq.
Sam Hawke was a late-comer to the 00-01 Hands set up, but he fitted into the team swiftly, and was rarely absent from nights out. His lack of fitness was tremendous in his first game against the Navy, but it didn't matter, as he is a loose-head prop. He does not, in fact, have a loose head - just a very very big one indeed, one of the largest ever seen in a Hands side, it is even bigger than Whibley's face.

John Grey Esq.
John Grey (8 caps) is a converted Bristol Bandit, but, after being on the wrong end of a 40-14 Hands victory defeat in 1998 he made the right decision. He won the Turner prize against his old club for playing as he usually does - he is very quick around the park and makes a large number of tackles. His technical play at the set pieces was also indispensable.

Mr. Oliver Lamb
Oli Lamb (7 caps, 2 tries) Known as morose Oli, it is unusual to see this man break into a smile. He is, nevertheless, one of the finest wingers to play for the Hands in a while, and was very different to Pool in the 00-01 season in which he played. Oli is a strong runner, who, despite his size can change direction and stop and start surprisingly quickly, making him a hard man to mark on the Downs and on the pitch. His hobbies include 'doing all that it is possible to do with clothes on' in the living room of Hands Towers.
