THE BEST AND WORST OF THE BALLERS WHO HAVE REPRESENTED SHU

RUDI HALFMANN
1997 - 2002
A.K.A "The pimp!" Rudi will be most famous for his laid back attitude towards life and his cocktail smoothies! A baller by heart, but not by trade, Rudi had a good knowledge for the game- and was know to pull a crazy move out of the bag on a big dude, when he is only 5'10". Known as "da pimp" for his involvement in his fathers (and now his own!) businesses and his smooth talking manner (especially with his bizzare accent!) Yet quite possibly the soundest guy you could ever meet, not a bad word about anyone or could be said about him! Watch out for Rudi on the dance floor - when he begins to shake his moves on return visits to the steel city!

ANDY FORD
1998 - 2003
NAME: ANDY FORD
AGE: 22
DATE OF BIRTH: 3-12-1980
HEIGHT: 6'2''
WEIGHT: 13st
HOME TOWN:HEMMEL HEMPSTEAD
COURSE:LEISURE MANAGEMENT
AGE STARTED BALLIN: 13 (1993)
PREVIOUS CLUBS: HEMMEL AND WATFORD ROYALS
Fordy was one of the best junior prospects in his time, but he has sadly fallen under the tempting influence of alcohol! Too many late nights and not enough exercise also cut Fordy's minutes down through the year despite playing on Chris Agabussi bball team during placement year. Fordy was well known for his wise leadership and generosity as a player. Always a safe pair of hands and sometimes prolific scorer - even though his jump shot looks like a kids! Fordy will be sadly missed, as he was a massive spirit to the team. He was known to entertain everyone about his stories from nights out! If only we could tally the amount of birds he's fallen asleep with during sexual activites! Fordy will also go down for his "dump and run" story! He spent one night with a random bird, went back to hers, had a bleeding crap - and couldn't sink the bastard after many flushes! So in true cad fashion, he ran away whilst she was asleep! All the best to a true Legend!

You only have to look at the hall of shame to see why Kirky was a SHU Legend! His comical personality (without intention!) sums Chris up, as well as his amazing ability to insult anyone about anything to their face - without giving a damn!

JONATHAN BIRKETT
1999 - 2003
The man plagued by foul trouble and injury!
PHOTO TO FOLLOW! Jon was remebered for his high octane blocks, never on his guy, but always coming over and destroying yours! A solid rebounder who would commit every inch of his body to get the ball. Jon will be most famously remembered for his "Dennis Rodman" save at Manchester Picadilly train station! Pete was dribbling the ball (after a few cans of beer!) on the platform edge and lost his handle. Jon, on the phone at the time, saw the ball rolling off the platform edge, finished his call and dived onto the floor. Reaching his hand over the edge of platform and out of site, he mysteriously came up with the ball! How he saved it, no one will ever know! If Jons injury ever heals then we could see him back in the team! Who knows?

ANDERS NASH
1997 - 2002
The mental case of the team! Brother to Matti. PHOTO: Anders had just shown the lovely lady the size of his todger. Don't think he took her home that night!
ANDERS was always know for his outrageous acts of bizarre comedy and being a true Arsenal fan. Anders antics include pissing in Luke's shoe, sleeping with 50%+ birds of Hallam, and being a Stardust regular. Anders will be remembered as a solid point guard, who would always put around 16pts on the board no matter how many shots it took to get them. He was also know for infuriating opponents with his trash talking. SHUBall will never forget the time he penetrated the lane and got called for a charge - even though he was the one lying dead, after hitting a 6'6'' brick wall that didn't budge an inch! He enjoyed grabbing knackers and flashing his cock, not to mention the time he was bottled and rushed off to hospital. Being a Nash he was always getting into some crazy argumentative sh*t!

MATTI NASH
2001 - 2005
NAME: MATTI NASH
AGE:21
DATE OF BIRTH: 3-2-1982
HEIGHT: 6'4''
WEIGHT: 13st
HOME TOWN: HEMMEL HEMPSTEAD
COURSE: LEISURE MANAGEMENT
AGE STARTED BALLIN: 15 (1997)
PREVIOUS CLUBS: HEMMEL AND WATFORD ROYALS
Although Matti will be returning in 2004-2005 campaign, he will still be a legend for his notorious zero tolerance attitude! Matti is a great inside player who can also take it to his man off the dribble. A true comedian, his antics on a night out will often end up in a scrap! Matti has been thrown out of at least 4 games for fighting! The highlights being (ironically!) against the Police and alsoMan Met at home - which incidently caused a bench clearing ruckus!

Luke French
2000 - 2004
Luke will always be remembered for his reliable form of play and his intensity on defence! Troubled by injuries, Luke was in and out of the SHUBall squad throughout his final year, but always gave 110% whenver he was on the court. Luke could often be seen wandering Collegiate Campus, unkempt and working non-stop throughout the nights to get his coursework done. Luke was a valuable player to the SHUBall squad and he thoroughly deserves his legend status.
