Golden Lion Athletic
 
Name: Darren Roland
 
Age: 23
 
Club: Golden Lion Athletic FC
 
Position at club: Captain/Midfield Maestro
 
Where will your team finish in the league and why: We have the potential to break into the top 3 this year and with a bit of belief, I think we can do it. I think we can win a trophy this year, having lost in 2 semi's in 2 years booooo!
 
Who is your clubs joker:
Club joker is a tough one as we have a whole host of idiots, the top 5 are probably Dodge, Smithy, Brownie, Myself and Charlie.

Biggest success in football: Being invited to play in front of a scout from every club in England at Upton Park in April.

Biggest disappointment in football: Snapping my anterior cruciate knee ligament so I cant go to Upton Park.

Ever been sent off:
Yeah unfortunately twice, but those days are over! I'm a lot calmer on the pitch and have learnt which tackles I will win and which too avoid so I don't get booked!

Who do you support:
By far the greatest team the world has ever seen and its ASTON VILLA

What's the worst piece of advice you've ever been given in life:
Eat the blue pill........cut the green wire....don't eat yellow snow..... haven't really had any really shocking advice given to me but my advice to you would be, "Live your life how you want to live it - That makes you the person you are today"!

Describe yourself in three words:
Courageous, Thoughtful, Hilarious   I'm making it up who can actually do that in 3 words??!

Tell us something about yourself that only you know:
I'm an alien abductee! I suffer from sleep paralysis (where you wake up and cant move/feel like there is someone in the room with you) and apparently if you look it up on the internet, it goes back to being abducted by aliens. How cool is that!

What type of music do you like: Rock/Alternative, I hate all this pop and R'n'B; I'm really glad that Joe didn't get number 1 at Christmas!

Favourite Restaurant: To go out for a meal with my girlfriend, it would probably be Zizzi up the mailbox in Brumtown; really nice Italian food, not too pricey either, but I do like a good old charlies kebab, shame no one knows what's in them though!

Favourite hobby apart from football: I play the drums, I used to be in a band but we split up after getting screwed over in the final of the national battle of the bands (stupid radio stations)!

What's your mobile phone ringtone: Beast and the Harlot by Avenged Sevenfold TUNE

Give us a good website to log onto: http://www.soccermanager.com

What's the most daring thing you've ever done: I s
wam with sharks in South Africa! What an amazing experience! If anyone goes to Cape Town during the World Cup, then I would advise going on the Great White Shark adventure, its truly amazing and a really good life experience (Check it out http://www.apexpredators.com - That's two websites! - Ed)

Why do you like the Bromsgrove League:
I like the league because I feel it is very well run and even if you have rivalry with other teams, everyone gets along just fine, as we all know each other!

Worst pitch you've ever seen in Sunday morning football:
When I was younger I played for Meadow Park on the pitch at Aston Fields Cricket Club. That pitch was awful, but now it has to be Stoke Prior where we used to play on the slope!

What would you do to improve Sunday morning football: I would have the council mark out all of the football pitches for us at least once a month! If it snowed, the council should sweep the pitch or cover the pitches before it snowed, or maybe even put under soil heating in! I think I would like to put the fun back into the game as well!

What's the funniest thing you've seen on a football field: When we played at the foot of the Malvern's last year, it was minus 5 and snowing/hailing. We played against some bloody good players and we were 6-0 down at half time but pulled back to 6-4. After the game we were getting changed and our star studded right back had pink hot pants on! He still gets stick for it now!

Who should be England's Number 1 keeper:
Carlo Cudicini. He has an English passport so why not or even Manuel Almunia! But I cant see Fabio picking either of those so probably Paul Robinson...........Luke Young and Stephen Warnock for left and right back!

Capello or Sven: D
efinitely Capello. I met Gary Cahill in Mexico and he told me when Sven made Becks captain they used to have secret meetings at England training camps and all the players got the impression Becks was picking the team!

Wenger or Ferguson:
Neither - Don't like them at all. Ferguson doesn't talk to the media if they lose and Wenger never saw it! Martin O'Neil all the way.

Hanson or Lawrenson: Shearer! Those two are idiots. Hanson may as well wear a Liverpool shirt on match of the day and Lawro is annoying.

Stubbs or Keys: Stubbs - Solid as a rock.

Facebook or Twitter: I don't have either sorry, I think they take over peoples lives!

X Factor or Strictly Come Dancing:
I'm rarely in on a Saturday, so I don't watch either............SUBO!!!
