Guess Who?

A couple of pictures from the March 1994 issue of PGI:-

In picture one, quite a few of you may recognise a few faces.

Can anyone name the two players who currently are on the roster for a UK MS squad?

Picture two is far easier, and most of you should be able to name them both.

The second picture is sooo badass

First tournament I ever ever went to was a tournament where the Preds were playing. The guy on the left in the second picture was there, and as excited kids we thought we'd go over and say hi, what with him being a "Pro" player.

He told us to f*ck off and walked off laughing.

Nice introduction to paintball Dave.

Oddly enough, at one of the first tournaments I went to at Kooh Doow, Robbo was there.

I took his photo and he told me in clear terms to ask his permission before taking his picture.

Two peas in a pod.

Serious?

2nd thing I noticed is that everytime Ive seen Dave play, he got shot real easy, and never did anything in the game. And everytime he near threatens the refs or the guy who shot him.

I had hair !!!!!!!!!!!
It's been soooo long ya see.... I had forgotten

There's only one thing more embarrassing than that advertisement pic of me and Dave, and that's the catch line that went with it - 'There's only one way you are gonna take these two out .. and that's to dinner' ..... It was advertising a new marker that had just come out, I can't even remember what it's called now but it was a semi.

Those were the days eh? ....

This one was always my favourite in terms of downright cheesiness; it was an ad for a pump marker called the Excalibur that I was manufacturing when I owned my engineering company some time back.
My team at the time was somewhat embarrassingly known as the Nam Wreckin' Crew which we shortened to NWC when things became a little more politically sensitive.
The original Nam team was made up of a few doormen and a few guys from my boxing club at the time and so we got some of them together to make the ad .... it may not have won any awards for subtlety but it did have an effect
I lay down at the front purely because I would have looked small compared to some of them apes behind me [who had an average weight of about 18 stone I think]...

I see The Swede is kneeling down at the left of your picture, Pete!

I'll post up some more pictures.

I remember reffing at Mayhem the year NWC came dressed in custom green sweatshirts and American Woodland camo pants. I remember reffing the AA's, and watching them blow away teams. I was reffing the finals when the Predators beat the Ironmen (the Ironmen gave away a ton of paint afterwards), and I was reffing the year NWC won Mayhem, the same year the Banzais got 4th.

The ref crew at Mayhem was one of the best ever, led by the Tigers.

The game changed when WDP put on the first Hyperball event, and I was there again reffing, seeing the likes of Avalanche for the first time.

That period really was a golden age for UK paintball - so many good memories.

And Dave Stewart? Never had an issue with him. I get on with him.
