He was a conditioner with the club for a long time, worked as a bin man for Warrington council and was a legendary character with the players. There are some stories about him in Mike Gregorys book.
He used to do early morning training sessions when the players were part time and he had found a spot of land which he used to take training, he heard that somebody had it earmarked for a building project so he started collecting newts from nearby ponds to put on his land because if newts started breeding on his bit of land then nobody could build on it because they were a protected species.
Then when Warrington played Cronulla Sharks in the World Club Championship in 1997, Chadders rubbed grease all over the ball they used for kick off, so when they booted it to Andrew Ettingshausen it slipped out of his hands and we got the scrum in an attacking position.
He looks a bit like Steve Coogan's character Paul Calf and is obviously a bit of a joker who was popular with the players but Scully pointed out in his book that he was also incredibly fit and none of the players could beat him at pull ups or dips.
