Career highlights so far:
Collecting all the transfer fees from the above shifts (wishful thinking!)
Being dragged out of retirement to play with my sons and finding I enjoy it even more the second time round!

Ambitions:
To have one more season!
Worst moment:
Mising the ball entirely one day, while trying to clear it from in front of goal. Of course, they scored!

Interests outside of football: music (playing guitar), body surfing.
Viewpoint: I think my wife, Rose, thinks I fully agree with the slogan on the shirt Tim gave me ... Football is life ... The rest is merely details. I reckon it's almost true, but it does give you a great release from the stresses of the 'real' world. A chance to run, jump, kick, head, compete, have fun, have a laugh. It's a great way to meet so many good people, even the refs! (just kidding)
