So who are the wonderous players that make up Annan RFC? - well you are in luck - as over the next few pages - you are about to read all about the men (no women profiles as yet) that make up the greatest club ever to be called Annan RFC.
Note: I still need lots of profiles - so click here if you are a player, ex-player, back-room staff or committee - and fill in the form and as I always say - if you don't someone may for you (and I'm sure that may be the case already!!!)
