Waldo is one of the few ever-present FB7s players and once again dusts off the boots and the dodgy licquor for the 2006 tournament. The rest of the Knights squad is wondering whether he can beat far-east whisky and liquer made from sweaty socks as the tipple of choice on 22 July. Name: Kevin Waldock
