Where will your team
finish in the league and why:
I think that we will take 4th place
in Division 2 this season, but if we can finish the
season strong and a few other results go our way then
the potential would definitely be there for us to maybe
finish a position or two higher. I think finishing in
the top 4 for a team in only it's second season with
a group of players that are still learning a lot about
each other and how each player plays is not a bad
achievement, but we will always be looking to aim higher
and achieve that goal of bringing some silverware home.
Who is your clubs joker: We
have quite a few jokers in the team, but the one that
stands out most has to be Aaron Hollis otherwise known
as "Aaronaldo". This lad always finds a way to make a
joke out of every situation whether it be taking the
mick or larking about in training with some of his in
game commentary! He certainly keeps all of the lads
highly amused!
Biggest success in football: No silverware
to date unfortunately, but I'll be hoping to work
towards that in the very near future. As far as
individual achievements go I've won the player of the
year award in my first season at my previous 2 clubs,
Cofton Celtic and Sugarbrook.
Biggest disappointment in football: My
biggest disappointment in football has to be our semi
final defeat in last season's Bromsgrove Charity Cup,
where we took the eventual winners, Churchill all the
way to the wire in the tightest and probably most
exciting game of football I've been involved in after
a header back to my keeper in the last 2 minutes of
the game didn't have enough on it to make it all the
way and the gamble the Churchill striker took paid off
as he scored and they won the game 1-0
Ever been sent off: Yes
unfortunately I've been sent off 3 times, all in my
first season for Cofton Celtic when I picked up 6
Yellows and 3 Reds and pretty much ended up paying for
the team's presentation evening in fines, but I still
managed to rack up 9 MOM awards to win player of the
season, crazy eh...
Who do you support: The
Mighty Villa, we'll be bringing that League Cup home
this year!!
What's the worst piece of advice you've ever
been given in life:
I can't think of any
really bad advice I've been given in life, most of it
is usually created in my own head and I end up telling
myself to do things that I know I really
shouldn't ha-ha!!
Describe yourself in three words: Easy
Going, Loyal and a bit Odd too!
Tell us something about yourself that only you
know: I
don't have many secrets as I'm a pretty open person
and there aren't many embarrassing things I've done
that someone doesn't know about so I guess I'll have
to go with something from my youth, which is falling
out of a tree and braking my arm, but what most people
don't know is that I only fell about 3ft and landed on
a bunch of cut down conifer trees...
What
type of music do you like: Mainly
a lot of alternate stuff and rock, Metallica are
awesome and it was immense seeing them live on stage.
Still go back to my roots sometimes though with a bit
of old school hip hop and reggae too.
Favourite Restaurant: Iguanas
in the Arcadian, The Latin American food there is
wicked!
Favourite hobby apart from football: Playing
the Xbox like most other guys, I'm into Motorbikes too
although I'd never ride one!
What's your mobile phone ringtone: The default
one set on the phone when I got it...
Give us a good website to log onto: www.webteams.co.uk/coftoncorinthiansfc
or
www.youtube.com
for some quality
entertainment of all kinds, a couple of which I'm the
star of!
What's the most daring thing you've ever done: The
most daring thing I've done is probably an 18 metre
solo up a cliff face in the peak district. I'm not an
experienced rock climber so this is not a bad one I
guess.
Why do you like the Bromsgrove League: It's
good league that is well ran and the standard of the
teams across all 3 Divisions is very high so your
constantly being put to the test by a different team
each week, which helps to improve your game and if
your winning more often than not then you know your
doing something right in this league. I think the
success in outside cup competitions across the county
in previous seasons also shows the calibre of football
being played in this league.
Worst pitch you've ever seen in Sunday morning
football: The
Old Rubery Rec pitch like others have mentioned in
the past... Everything from dog fouling to
dirty needles on this pitch and it had a slant to
rival a ski jump!!
What would you do to improve Sunday morning
football: Although it'd
cost teams more money and require a lot more people
I'd like to see proper Linesman on a Sunday morning
because there aren't many unbiased volunteers out
there to run the line anymore and it costs a lot of
teams dearly and sometimes can take a game into
disrepute as I've seen on more than 1 occasion in the
past.
What's the funniest thing you've seen on a football
field: The funniest thing
I've ever seen and done... Scored an own goal from
just inside our half of the pitch lobbing the keeper
with a backwards volley, it could never be done again
in such emphatic style if I tried!!
Who should be England's Number 1 keeper:
At the moment I'd have
to say Joe Hart, he's the in-form man...
Capello or Sven: Capello
Wenger or Ferguson: Wenger,
purely because he looks like some strange kind of
Alien!!
Hanson or Lawrenson: What
a pair of planks, I'm gonna have to say Alan.....
Shearer that is!!
Stubbs or Keys: Stubbs
Facebook or Twitter: Facebook
although neither appeal to me anymore now the novelty
has worn off.
X Factor or Strictly Come Dancing: X
Factor, When they show you the best bits of all those
people that think they can sing, but really can't and
make a complete fool of themselves on national TV....
Priceless!
