Neil Bertram

Full name: Neil Bertram
Nickname(s): Hunky
Age: -
Occupation: Residential Social Worker
Representative Honours: I got a trial for Edinburgh U16's many moons ago but playing for Porty takes commitment so I had to tell them no! I wish.
Position: Flanker

Gareth, Hunky and Big Dave

Favourite Porty player: For me at Porty there are many great talents, characters and beer bellies. To pick one would be impossible so I have to say that all at Porty are my favourite players.
Favourite International Player: I know he doesn't play anymore but Budge Poutney has to be one of my favourites. He led by example and put his body on the line everytime, a true inspiration.
Strengths: The old head down and charge is my main asset. If I find myself in the open I tend to panic and put in crazy grubbers (the guys that played that game know what I mean).
Weaknesses: Lack of height, lack of weight, lack of tackling ability, but I do it with Hunky style.

Favourite Food: Anything spicy
Favourite drinks: Bud, Magners with Ice, Lucozade
Greatest Rugby Moment: Every single time I pull on the Porty colours is great. But I remember a few years ago playing for the 2XV, Murdo went down after trying to pick the ball up and as the magic sponge came on, someone from the crowd shouted Leave him, but please save the baby!
Worst Rugby Moment: It had to be last season (2003-2004) when we were forced to pull out from the League. But I believe it was the right thing to do.
