Homage to Players Past

 

Ste Martin: 6 - 2001-2006

 

Ste Martin was one of our founder players, he was in our first match back in 2001 - and he played almost every match up until his departure in 2006. Ste was certainly a crowd favourite and is now persuing his degree in Musical Theatre.

 

 

 

Paul Thompson: 8 - 2001-2004

 

Paul was another of our founder players. Always the tallest of the group, he stood out with his fantastic physical humour.

 

 

 

 

Emily Cookson: 3 - 2001-2006

 

Emily Cookson was the youngest ComedySportz Player in the world at age 12 when she began playing with us. She was still the youngest in the troupe when she left us in 2006 to go to Drama School. Emily was one of our most energetic players, and even had a game named after her in the troupe "Ask Emily" where Emily would talk for a minute about anything the audience wanted her to.

 

 

 

 

Russell Ditchfield: 69 - 2002-2004

 

Russell Ditchfield joined us mid 2002 after being a fan of the show. A player to challenge Paul's 'tall' status, Russell was an all round performer. He left the troupe to go to University, and is now in the group Louie.

 

 

 

 

Rachael Hilton: 12 - 2001-2004

 

Rachael was a firey haired joy in the troupe, but in 2004 Drama school beckoned, you can now see her on various TV programmes, most recently 'Doctors' and 'Grown Ups'.

 

 

 

 

Sean Hargreaves: 9 - 2003-2006

 

Sean Hargreaves joined us just before we got our swanky shiney shirts back in 2003. He provided the sparkles that we needed, and we continually miss his sparkle.
