Steve Lloyd
Steve Lloyd was born in Uruguay, raised in Kidderminster of Welsh parents and emerged as a bolter for Wales’ squad for the 1991 Rugby World Cup shortly after he joined Moseley from Kidderminster Carolians.
The Wales call never came although Lloyd was named in a Wales B side against Holland in 1993 and he also represented the Midlands and Barbarians.
After a stint with Harlequins Lloyd joined Warriors in 1996 and helped the club win promotion to the what is now the Championship before a chronic back injury ended his career in 2000.
In his prime Lloyd was one of the best lineout forwards in England, particularly when he had hooker Dean Ball, who also played for Moseley and Warriors, throwing in.
Craig Gillies
Craig Gillies established a reputation as one of the country’s leading lineout forwards and set a Warriors’ record for appearances in his 11-year career at Sixways.
Born in Scotland but raised in Devon, the 6ft 8ins tall lock had a brief spell with Bath before joining Richmond then moving to Wales for a season with Llanelli after Richmond ran into financial difficulties in 2000.
He returned to England joined Gloucester for a season before joining Warriors in 2002 and spending the remainder of his career at Sixways.
Gillies, an England A international, broke Tony Windo’s then record of 222 appearances and had extended his own record to 288 matches – including nine tries – by the time he retired in 2013.
Greg Rawlinson
Greg Rawlinson was one of three All Blacks – Rico Gear and Sam Tuitupou were the others – in 2007 and was the one who made the most lasting impression from his time at Sixways.
Rawlinson was born in South Africa but moved to New Zealand in 2002 and came to the attention of the All Blacks’ selectors after impressing with North Harbour and Bay of Plenty at provincial level and with Blues in Super Rugby.
Having turned down the chance to play international rugby for South Africa, Rawlinson made four Test appearances for the All Blacks, the last of them against South Africa in Durban shortly before he joined Warriors.
Rawlinson formed an effective second row pairing with Craig Gillies during his four years with Warriors and made 103 appearances.
Graham Kitchener
Graham Kitchener is in his second spell with Warriors have returned to Sixways in the summer of 2019 following eight hugely successful seasons with Leicester Tigers.
He is regarded as one of the Premiership’s supreme lineout forwards and has several times come close to international honours, captaining an England XV against the Barbarians in 2014 and being named in England’s Six Nations squad the following year.
Kitchener played his formative rugby in Shropshire and progressed through the Academy at Sixways to make his senior debut in 2007.
He made 72 appearances in his first spell with Warriors and has become a key component in the engine room of the pack this season.
Donncha O’Callaghan
Plenty of players have made more than 63 appearances for Warriors but few have become as popular in that time as Donncha O’Callaghan.
O’Callaghan arrived at Sixways in 2015 with nothing to prove having won 94 Ireland caps and four more with the British and Irish Lions and also represented Munster 268 times in a 17-year career that produced two Heineken Cups.
He quickly embraced the culture at Sixways and soon became a cult figure with supporters who appreciated O’Callaghan’s passion, commitment and approachability.
O’Callaghan captained Warriors in the 2017/18 campaign and announced his retirement at the end of that season.
Chris Raymond
Chris Raymond was a hard, uncompromising player on the pitch but a gentle giant off it as befits a primary school teacher.
Raymond began and finished his career at Old Patesians – his local club in Cheltenham – but played top flight rugby for both Moseley and Gloucester before he joined Warriors in 1996.
He made the move from Kingsholm along with his good friend Bruce Fenley – who also played for Old Patesians and Moseley – and the pair were vital cogs in helping Warriors reach the Championship with successive league titles in their first seasons at Sixways.
Raymond left Warriors in 2000 when he gave up being a full-time rugby player and returned to teaching and a player/coach role with Old Patesians.
Mark Gabey
Mark Gabey played his early rugby for Western Districts and Queensland in his native Brisbane before enjoying a long career in the top two divisions in England.
After an initial stint with Exeter Chiefs, Gabey spent the 1998/99 season with Bristol before stepping up to the Premiership with London Irish the following season.
A two-year spell with Bath followed before Gabey .moved to Sixways in 2002 and played an important role in helping Warriors win promotion to the Premiership for the first time.
His ability to also play in the back-row added to his value although the emergence of Richard Blaze saw Gabey leave Warriors to re-join Exeter early in 2005. He later played for Birmingham & Solihull in the Championship.
James Percival
James Percival had two spells with Warriors, the first while he was a member of the Academy at Sixways having joined from Haybridge High School in Hagley.
The former Worcester University student then moved to Northampton Saints in 2005 along with Dylan Hartley and Mark Hopley but missed his first season because of a broken neck and spent most of the second on loan at Bedford Blues.
A move to Harlequins followed in 2007 where he notched up a half century of appearances in four seasons before he re-joined Warriors in 2011.
Percival, an excellent lineout jumper and abrasive ball carrier, made 82 appearances for Warriors before he moved to France in 2015 playing first for Grenoble then for Tarbes.
