"Deep Fat" Fryer takes time out from his holiday in St.Lucia to complete his Fat Bloke 7s profile. The line from the Caribbean wasn't all that good, so some comments may be taken out of context. Never mind, Phil's not back in the country for another fortnight, so he won't know! Name: Phil Fryer

Who introduced you to the Knights? Large

Why no.2? After our first lineout last year? Need I say more?

Worst rugby injury: Where do we start –Buggered cartilage in knees, shoulders and hands, several broken noses (the same one) and a few concussions. I could go on but you’re all bored now.

Most embarrassing on-field moment: Jumping and shouting after the half-time whistle thinking the game was over. Never play while still pissed from the night before!

Most embarrassing off-field moment: I’d rather not.

Ed: (I have it on good authority that Phil tried to urinate on the curtains, the wall and the carpet before eventually finding the proper recepticle in a Belfast hotel room last season)
