1. | Name | Matthew Parrish |
2. | Nickname | Paz, Moonface, Big Head |
3. | Position | Number 8 |
4. | Previous Clubs | I’ve only played for Bolton |
5. | Earliest Rugby Memory | Getting recruited in Bolton town centre aged about 21! A load of fat lads with smashed faces made a beeline for my mates and tried to convince them to play rugby - I was the only one who decided to give it a go. I played my first game at tighthead prop weighing about 12 stone wet through, took me a while to recover from that! |
6. | Best ground you’ve played at | The theatre of trees of course |
7. | Rugby Idol | Martin Johnson, a giant amongst men, a great rugby player and an inspirational leader on the pitch. Always used to love Sebastian Chabal until I made the mistake of watching him play for Sale. |
8. | Best dressed team mate | Can’t think of anyone at the club I would describe as best dressed! Mike Singy has got some Ironman underpants though, so that has to come pretty close! |
9. | Worst dressed team mate | Got to be Nick Sandbrook, looks terrible regardless of outfit |
10. | Worst training drill? | Anything that involves running |
11. | If you didn’t play rugby, what sport would you play | No idea, keep thinking I should learn to play golf |
12. | Favourite rugby moment | When we got promoted the first time beating Silloth in the playoff |
13. | Celebrity lookalike | The fat kid from up: |
14. | Which 3 famous people would you have over for dinner | Kevin Bridges, Mickey Flanagan and Ant & Dec – they only count as one person because they’re so small. |
15. | Last try you scored | Against De La Salle last weekend, a fantastic 95 yard dash to the line… |
