R le Quin answers the profile questions with the experience of over thirty years of watching Quins - does anyone know what a 'Judicial Taxing Clerk' does?
| Board Name: | R le Quin |
| Age: | 37 |
| Location: | Worcester Park |
| Occupation: | Judicial Taxing Clerk |
| Why did you choose your board name?: | Harlequin through and through |

| If you play(ed) rugby what position did/do you play?: | Hooker/Wing (not very well) |
| Best ever Quins game: | There are so many but I guess it would have to be the 1988 cup final against Bristol (although seeing Colin Lambert score his 8 tries against the RAF at Twickenham in 1976 was brilliant!) |
| Favourite off pitch Quins experience: | Playing pool in the pub next to Orrell’s ground before the game (as we invariably lost so it was an unhappy experience afterwards) – the away days used to be an adventure in themselves when you could count on the fingers of one hand the amount of Quins supporters travelling. |
| What is the most ridiculous rugby related thing you have done?: | Started supporting the Quins! |
| Favourite Ground (after The Stoop): | Twickenham |
| Favourite Quins Player: | Too hard to answer – there are so many. Billy Bushell, Terry Claxton, Colin Lambert, David Pears, Paul Ackford and I would love to have a one 2 one with William Smith. |

| When you were young what did you want Jim to Fix for you?: | Nothing – didn’t like the programme! |
| Tell us THREE things about yourself that we wouldn't know. BUT, TWO of these should be true, but ONE should be totally made up: |
1. I am left handed 2. I smoke 20 a day 3. I used to drive a Corsa |
