Coach Warns: You Can't Handle The Ruth
14/11/2009

She has not played since the 2007 finals series, but Ruth Hannan has returned to The Bullets Football Club in a big way, signing on to take part in the 2009 Corporate Games. And Warren 'Coachy' Burford has a message for those who think that Hannan's best is behind her. Speaking at her official contract signing, 'Coachy' warned opposition clubs that the 2007 Best First Year Player is primed and ready for action, despite a career hampered by knee injuries. Hannan, who burst onto the scene in 2007, with seven goals from four games, took time away from the game to focus on her scientific research. But now she is back to dedicating 100% of her energy into her recreational football career, which has many long-time Bullets fans salivating at the prospect.

Speaking this week, Hannan admitted that she had been reluctant to return to the game, but that a heart-to-heart conversation with the club's number one ticketholder and former mob boss Dan Vitale managed to change her mind. "He told me to come back or he'd put a hit out on me...it just made my decision that much easier!" recalled Hannan, this past week.
