mmmmen in shorts

And so it came to pass that on Sunday 27th March 2011 WLH came within touching distance of an assortment of Hollyoaks menfolk- though we didn’t touch them, we kept our hands to ourselves. Honest. Now that the palpitations have died down and we have regained our sight, here is what we remember from that special day:

• The team was The Hutch, Riley, Gilly, Newt, Archie, Joe, Savagebot elder and randoms x 4 – including Number 11 (swoon). Foxy growled from the dugout. Darren and Savagebot younger also came on as substitutes in the second half.
• They are all very nice young men. So polite. Yes, we know that makes us sound like our Nan.
• Kathleen and Myra were there too. Really lovely ladies.
• There isn’t much difference between real life Foxy and Hollyoaks Foxy. He even does the cat tongue. Except in real life we kinda liked it.
• We also clocked him having a sneaky fag outside the changing rooms.
• Tony is well fiesty. He shouted at Savagebot younger and even said the F-word. We were shocked. But also a little bit turned on.
• We recommend watching Riley stretch. You won’t regret it.
• The two brand new Savagebots were unveiled. We can confirm that they are human – we asked them. But then maybe they only think they’re human, like in Blade Runner. So maybe not.
• Cheese and biscuits: the name of Riley’s guns – we asked.
• Darren kissed us on the cheek. We haven’t washed that cheek since. Okay, that’s a lie. Ish.
• Hollyoaks won. Hollyoaks ALWAYS WINS.

naturally, we took lots of photos. So here they are!

assorted stretching shots. Mmmm.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

action shots!

Run, Hollyoaks boy, RUN LIKE THE WIND!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Savagebot elder. Tasty.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bosh. I am Riley, hear me ROAR.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Gilly. Only being slightly aggressive – a rare thing indeed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oof. What he lacked in being able to escape from a burning building, Joe makes up for in impressive headering (that’s a word right?)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

pointing!

Though there was sadly no BB action on the field, there was much pointing in his honour

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Newt!

Apparently still sane, though that haircut makes him resemble a fluffy little easter chick.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Archie!

You know, we rather miss him and his pervy ways.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Savagebot younger!

Moments after Tony shouted at him. Or maybe not. He looks sadfaced though.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

DARREN!

Like a baseball capped golden eagle, in he swooped, so glorious we almost wept. He even had his real life baby eagle (a Darren eaglet?) with him. Possibly the most adorable thing we have ever seen. And we once had a houseful of 12 kittens.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

huggle time

The arrival of Darren and baby Darren understandably lead to much bromantic man hugging. We briefly considered trying to get in on the action but thought this wouldn’t go down very well.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

foxy foxy

Though he didn’t play (he seemed to be limping – perhaps Brendo bit his knee in Fight Week?), he growled from a tracksuit in the dugout. He was so close we could have touched him. But we didn’t.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

lovely lovely 11

We do not know the identity of Number 11. But he was hot. And he scored both Hollyoaks goals. And did we mention that he’s hot?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Hutch

As team captain and the brains behind the whole Hollyoaks football phenomenon we thought it only fair to dedicate a section to the many faces of Tony Hutchinson:

happy hutch

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

anxious Hutch

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

fiesty Hutch, altercating with some no-doubt-deserving-it Warrington Town player:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

WHAT. A. DAY.
