Dylan Jenkins

Known as Jenko

A school friend of Steve, Leake and Hughes, Dylan helped turn their casual games into Lesbie Avenue in 2016 and has played in defence since. Known as Jenko, he is a physical defender with an unusual ability to produce tackles from nowhere. His “elastic legs” appear beside the ball just as an opponent thinks they are through. He relishes denying goals and a battle, however in recent years as he’s gotten older his legs can’t move like they used to and let him down sometimes. Getting inside the heads of the opposition is a fun trick until losing his own can quickly affect his game. His finest display of game management came in Cwmbran. Protecting an unlikely 1–0 lead against superior opposition, Dylan spent the closing minutes launching the ball as far from the pitch as possible whilst using his Wiley antics to commit fouls without the ref noticing His rivalries have included one with Nothing But Length that ended with an opponent punching him. Referees receive similar treatment: one especially ill-advised historical comparison earned him a suspension and fine. Away from football, he’s a reliable teammate and runs the club’s TikTok—an approach the squad calls “weaponised autism.”
