ROBBIE SIMPSON REVEALED

Behind Closed Doors caught up with the LSAFC first team striker to get an insight into his life and his views on the football club...

Simmo in the final last yearCan you tell me about your time at Loughborough, highlights and lowlights...

Highlights for me has to be winning the BUSA final last year - get in! Barks' break-dancing on nights out, Pellys pecs, Bono's dodgy gear (I've now taken over!), Shannons abuse on nights out, Windy's banter - ha ha!), McSweeney's botherdness and Browny's boxers!
Who cares about lowlights? maybe windy!

Can you shed any light on your footy career outside of Loughborough?

Played for Cambridge City in the Conference South joining them from Norwich City.

What is the highest achievement in your career so far?
Probably highest achievement is finishing second in Conference South and reaching FA Cup 2nd round proper with Cambridge, playing against Man Utd for Norwich (against Keiron Richardson) in front of a crowd of 9,000. And of course winning BUSA last year! 

And which is your most memorable game for Loughborough?
The final last year McSweeney MOM - cheers for coming Frandog!

Who was your best friend in LSAFC (not including Nick Drew)?
 
Everyone is / were legends! Well ok...most! BUSA final last year

Who's the joker in your side? Have you any funny tales that you can tell us?
Windy this year probably. I can't tell you any of his banter though, would be dangerous considering the people who might read it!

Which team do you support?
Arsenal

Who is your childhood hero and why?
Thierry Henry coz he is ledge and Jonny Bovd

How do you think England will fair in the world cup this summer? Who is your tip to win it?
England will win it - got a bet on! Come on deadly Ledley - got a bet with Windy!

What does the future hold for LSAFC, can we win it?

Yeah we will win it. We're not as strong as last year maybe but we will still win it!


A huge thanks to Simmo and Barks for this article.
