Can
you tell me about your time at Loughborough, highlights and lowlights...
Not a lot to tell really! I’m going into my third (though hopefully not final) year, studying Electronic and Electrical Engineering. Every night out with the footy lads is a massive highlight and I’m looking forward to many crazy nights next year. Lowlights probably just not getting involved with the football club enough in my first year!!
Can you shed any light on your footy career outside of Loughborough?
Played for Beckenham town pretty much forever, had a mad final season winning the London cup, Kent cup, and the league and league cup!
What is the highest achievement in your career so far?
Had brief spell with Wimbledon as a youngster, most proud moment was probably winning managers player in my final season at Beckenham Town.
And which is your most memorable game for Loughborough?
Has to be the semi against MMU last year, we knew we didn't deserve to be there but at the same time we knew we had every chance of winning it. Shame Collett decided to attack their centre forward and give away that penalty : (
Who is your best friend in LSAFC (not including Nick Drew)?
I wouldn’t like to name any names but I’ve had an awesome year with all the boys in the freshers firsts. I Suppose I should give a little shout out to my future housemates Drew, Scotty and Sean!
Have you any funny tales that you can tell us?
Too many! You have to bare in mind that I spent a lot of the year messing about with drew and Charlie! One night we were coming home from Echos and someone (naming no names) stole a load of hangers from the cloakroom on the way out. When we got back to campus the stage from Freefest was still up so we decided to jump up and pull a few moves for the imaginary crowd. Within about 30 seconds security was on the scene and they nearly ran me over as I tried (prison break style) to escape. Turns out someone had reported seeing youths with an “unidentified object”, the coat hangers, dancing on the stage!
Which team do you support?
I support two, England and LSAFC, with regards to the premier league I’d have to say my allegiances lie with Arsenal
Who is your childhood hero and why?
Gazza, an awesome player with banter to match. Also I love to see a skilful player in an England shirt.
What three items would you take to a desert island and why?
Two cold pints of fosters and a football. I’d sit and drink the pints while I came to terms with the fact that I’d be spending the rest of my life on a desert island, then I'd use the glasses as cones and play football to keep myself happy and healthy.
Are there any youngsters we should look out for coming through the ranks?
Is this where you sign up for the Scotty bandwagon? There’s defo a few players in the fives and sixes who will impress in preseason and I’ve little doubt that a few of them will taste the dizzy heights of the first team.
Who has the most bant in the whole club?
Technically at the time of going to press Barks, Smiffy etc have left so I’m gonna go for it and say that me and Drew have got the best bant, come to the socials next season for a free demonstration.
When people say in football ‘play in the hole’, can you tell me where that is?
I can’t be entirely sure, not really my thing, I’d have to talk to Scouse about it.
What’s your preference between these street cred benchmarks:
Lost or Prison Break? Prison break
Pat Butcher or Pauline Fowler? Hmm… topical, Pat butcher used to be a prostitute which is never good, but I think id rather live with her than Pauline, she’s just plain annoying.
Prada shoes or my granddad sandles? Granddad sandals.
Peter Crouch or Michael Owen? Depends if you mean for more than one minute because that’s about as long as Michael Owen can go without getting injured.
Russ Noble or Andy Noble? I’ll be honest I don’t really know then so I’m gonna guess, Russ.
Pint or girlie bottle? Pint please.
Eddie Izzard or Jimmy Carr? Jimmy Carr
