The mystery. It remains unclear what Buckle does for Yellow Fever. He just seems to pop up in all the photos, somewhat like that prankster/imposter who snuck into the Man Utd team photo and later came out to bat in The Ashes for Nasser Hussain. That was quality. Unfortunately, he has been with Yellow Fever from the beginning, and nobody has worked out how to get rid of him.

You will find Buckle on the podcast, but probably only when the Phoenix win. He is a bit too emotional to deal with the bad days publicly. He is also not one to take responsibility for anything - blaming his one and three year old daughters for placing constraints on Yellow Fever commitments.

Buckle is a specialist on the '82 and '86 World Cups. He sleeps with a poster of Marco Tardelli and a video of Gole. As a player, he is still recovering from the trauma of losing 17 of 18 games last season with BNU. But, it has not always been that bad. In two decades of seasons of football in Wellington and Dunedin, he claims to have finished as high as 6th - and more than once. He even once won the Coastlands cup as a 6 year old, albeit on corners in extra time.
