SUNS COACH BECKY VALENTINE POSITION:Top of the food chain STATS: Married BIO:I was in my junior year at UNC when Mia Hamm joined the squad. We instantly clicked. In fact, our playing styles were so similiar that our coach called her "Little Becky". We even shared a dorm room. As her skills improved, Mia grew more competetive. One way of relieving the tension between us was through practical jokes. Mia's not the brightest chick, so I could always get her with a dribble glass or fake puke. But Mia always over-reacted. She'd cut up my clothes or stab my boyfriends to get back at me. One day I hid around the corner and hit Mia in the face with a pie when she got out of her car. I guess I should have known she would take it badly. That night she cut off my feet with a axe. I still enjoy soccer but sometimes my wheelchair gets caught in the grass. SUNS MIKE ARNONE POSITIONWing, Fullback, Forward STATS: 5'10", 185 lbs., Brown Hair/Eyes, Single and Beefy BIO: Grew up in Laguna Beach, CA and began playing Soccer at age 12 and have been on club teams ever since.

Also, love to Snowboard, play pool, hike and travel (USA, South America and Canada so far). Spiritually aware, creatively charged and physically tone. SUNS TIMM WRIGHT POSITION:Defense STATS: 5'11'' 160lbs BIO:Being a child of this wonderous Golden State, I've always been at one with nature. I view the earth as a goddess that provides any answers that I shall seek. But the most magical thing this state has to offer is the spiritual energy of it's citizens. I meet so many blessed people touring as a sexual therapist specializing in tantric exercises. Getting to know them and helping them in their intimate moments has been my greatest joy in life, aside from soccer. SUNS EDGAR MONTUFAR POSITION:Center Mid STATS: 5'4 155lbs BIO: I am most proud of my doll collection. I know it might sound a little crazy but nothing brings me more joy than my Scarlet O'Hara Barbie (valued at $3000 today!) or my first generation Cabbage Patch Kid, Bethany. I started playing soccer in 1998 when Mattel came out with Soccer Barbie, inspired by the success of the women's national team. SUNS David Rock POSITION:LEFT WING STATS: 6'1", 185 lbs., LIGHT BRWN. Hair/ BLUE EYES BIO: Born in Dublin, Ireland. 2nd youngest of 11 kids. Brought up in a sports crazy family. Have played soccer from age 8. Have represented High school and club in winning teams in State and All-Ireland finals. Coached Marymount High school last season coming runners-up in league. My favourite pastime is looking after my godchild Daniel age 7 months. hopefully a Suns player for the future. I hope to maintain a close relationship with our club and continue playing on AND on AND on.... SUNS Carlos Rea POSITION:Keeper TURN ONS: matches BIO: I knew when I got out of prison (arson) in 1984 that I would need to make a new start. I decided to go back to acting. I had had some small success with recurring rolls as "Jose the thief" on Who's the Boss? and as "Rocko" on Hart to Hart. Although I would occasionally burn some people with cigarettes, I kept my obsession with fire in control. I decided to join the soccer team in 1986 to keep me in shape. Now my acting career is dead, but my soccer skills have never been sharper. SUNS Brian Galyean POSITION:winger STATS:skinny boy BIO: Raised in the Badlands of South Dakota, I developed a skill for contorsionism at an early age when I was dropped down an abandoned well by my mother. Not only did I survive for 8 months down there, but I was able to claw my way out using a series of ropes braided from my own flowing, raven-colored locks. When I emerged gaunt and virtually hairless, I knew I had a career in show business just waiting for me. I had a great run in LA as a child star, most notably in the never-before-aired, "controversial" episode of Full House where Joey discovers his love for watersports and young boys. SUNS Bill Rider POSITION:Top STATS: GWM, BLD/BLU 6'2" 195 lbs, N/S, N/D, HIV-, WS, L, CBT, 10" UNCUT BIO: ME = straight acting and appearing, rough scene, watersports, leather, bondage, light torture, gang bangs, bi/orgy, barebacking, facefucking, soccer. YOU = White or Latino, submissive, under 35, tats = A+, no twinks, no fats, no fems!! SUNS Kyle Barnes POSITION:Midfield TURN OFFS: big noses BIO: I got pretty famous in the St. Louis puppetry scene. Received the Jim Henson Award ($10,000) for my production "Gloves on Gepeto", a postmodern take on Pinochio and the OJ trial. I blew the money on nose jobs for me and my friends and came out to LA penniless. The puppetry scene here proved too competitive and was forced to take a job as a clown. Now I mostly play soccer with the guys and practice my baloon animals. I'm reworking my big hit, this time called "Gepeto Crackwhore" about Pinochio and Robert Downey, Jr. SUNS Scot Wegner POSITION:Forward STATS: Cleat size = 10 BIO: I made it through the wilderness, somehow I made it through. I didn't know how lost I was until I found the West Hollywood Soccer Club. I was beat, incomplete. I'd been had, I was sad and blue but they made me feel -- yeah they made me feel -- shiny and new. SUNS Marco Vides POSITION:Daddy STATS: Pretty nipples BIO:I started hiding pizzas in my garage almost two years ago. I was working at Little Caesar's in Montebello and got promoted to assistant manager. As part of our Pizza-Pizza Super Crazy Sticks promotion, I would get a bonus if our store sold over 300 pies a month. I really needed the money to get reconstuctive surgery on my genitals because of my unfortunate accident on Space Mountain (long story). So I started calling in fake orders every month to get the bonus. I would hide the extra pizzas in my garage. I managed to save $10,000 before the rats took over. So now I play soccer with these guys and work in pest control. SUNS Raul Evans POSITION:Keeper/Clown STATS:Red nose, big feet BIO:More comfortable with the simpler things in life than the fast-paced ambition usually asscociated with LA. I enjoy spending time with my friends and enjoying good conversation and good wine. I like soccer more for the comaraderie than the competition. After all wasn't it Thomas Fuller who once said, "contentment consisteth in not adding more fuel, but in taking away some fire." SUNS Sergio POSITION:If I tell you I would have to kill you. STATS: Wanted BIO: I've spent the last four months of my life on the run. The government tried to help out with a Witness Protection program, but everybody knows that shit doesn't work. It's been hell, the name changes, the assasination attempts, the endless disguises. It all started at when I worked at Niemen Marcus and saw that little pointy-faced bitch Winona Ryder packing her purse full of stolen crap. "Stop thief," I screamed. "Stop, bad actress!" They said they would protect me, but it is the LAPD afterall. Her bodyguards tracked me down two weeks before I could testify and broke my legs. I still like soccer, but mostly I ride the bench. SUNS PAUL HARTMAN POSITION:SWEEPER NICKNAME: RAZZER BIO: I don't know what to put here man. It' like a crazy journey you know and I just want it to be the raddest trip ever. Way into extreme sports like adventure racing (Eco-challenge 1997), shark diving and lots of repelling. It's all about that sweet ride. If i ain't clocking 4 g's or shooting my half-pipe then I might as well be another dumbass suit. Carpe Diem, stay cool. SUNS MICHAEL CHANG POSITION:DEFENSE STATS: FRENCH OPEN CHAMPION 1989, 3 TIME U.S. OPEN SEMIFINALIST BIO: Michael first burst onto the professional tennis scene in an epic battle with then number one Ivan Lendl. Michael became the first unseeded men's French Open champion at only 18 years of age. His speed and agility were aided by his iron will. Michael never gives up. The next years of his professional career were marked by rivalries with Jim Courier and long-time friend Pete Sampras. Michael's tennis career has deminished lately as a new crop of talented youngsters pushes to the top. When he is eliminated from a tournament in the early rounds (which is always) he enjoys playing soccer with sarcastic homosexuals. SUNS FRANK GONZALES POSITION: STOPPER STATS: 6'1", 180 lbs. BIO: Hey there, thanks for taking the time to browse these profiles. It shows ambition. I'm really into getting what I want and expect it in others. It's the only way to be honest. I'm a straight forward guy who enjoys changing my look often. But whether I'm blonde or 70's-retro, I've still got my wicked sense of humor. Watch out I'm a handful! I don't tolerate boring people. Boring is dangerous! But a healthy ego never hurt anybody. SUNS JESSE GUITEREZ POSITION: All positions; "in respect to soccer" STATS: 30 years old, 5'9, 165 pounds BIO: I go by Jesse.
