Generally never got picked when they were younger. Known to run up and down the sideling banging hurls together (even at football games). Most vocal in the dressing room and have a serious turn of pace if someone get injured or needs water Management teams - Charge a very high milage rate, are never from the same parish and can be seen standing on the sideline with their hand up to their ear Bursting up the game - Full forward, normally a roundy, attempts to knock as many opposition defenders as possible while carrying the ball towards goal.
