North Romford Player in TV advert...
NRFC proved how strong their marketing value is this year when Phones 4u signed up sweeper Jamie Rabey for a TV commercial promoting their brand.
Its thought that the inspiration and costume for the character came when Jamie was spotted by talent scouts at a fancy dress party to celebrate the 30 birthday of NRFC's former hero Kevin Parmenter in a Chadwell Heath pub.
It seems they took the head band from the costume of another player, Tony Sutton, and added it to the village people outfit worn by Rabey as the big long feather head set thing he originally had was 'far too heavy'.

I can't see the boys having much trouble pulling a scary mary either, judging by some of the horrors they know!!
