Royals Profile: Marc Labrom

Marc is entering his third season with the Royals after a brief stint with the baby blue of St Anthony's feeling the colour won't bring out his eyes. Prior to that, he had a long career in his native Montreal playing for the established club West Island Lakers. Mark's Montreal flair is evident on and off the pitch. Off the pitch, his idea of a night out consists of slipping into some tight faded jeans, supper at 10pm (that's right 10pm!) followed by a trip to chic Martini Bar, and a long night of voguing while trying to attract the ladies and repel the fellas. On the pitch, he has been a great addition to the Royals. During his tenure, he's proved his versatility while playing all position across the backline and even some assignments on the wing. The self pro-claimed "destroyer" is always ready for a well-timed tackle that can bring down large and small strikers alike. A tenacious man-marker when called on, the gazelle-like strides keep attackers on a short leash. Marc has a knack for reading the play the play well and stepping up to intercept a pass at opportune times. Offensively, Marc is always looking to add to the attack with overlapping runs from the back and well played balls through the midfield... Despite being deaf in one ear, he's been known to ignore instructions and slags from all directions. But you'll surely be made a fan of Marc's game with his vision and tenacity, you'll likely even hear yourself say "Marc, I wish I could quit you." But you won't be able to...
