Best
Moment in Football :
From a playing point of view, winning the Sue Sharples Trophy ... it was
a very emotional day.
As a Secretary, I could not have been
prouder than when the Ladies played on the pitch at White Hart Lane.
|
Worst
Moment in Football :
Losing the 1996 Sue Sharples Trophy Final to, of all teams, Ar***al.
Any match we lose, when we just don't do
ourselves justice.
|
Worst
Injury :
Done all the ligaments, fractured/dislocated fingers, etc.
Worst thing I ever did was at school was head the shot-putt !! |
Ambition
in the game :
To see Tottenham Hotspur Ladies back up with the best.
And for the 2002-2003 season to see the Reserves lift the Sue Sharples
Memorial Trophy. |
Length
of time at THLFC :
I formed the club back in 1985. |
Number
of appearances for THLFC :
Unfortunately, never kept a record |
Number
of goals for THLFC :
None - not too many chances back in goal !! |
What
would the others in the team say your strengths are ?
I would hope that they say I get the games on, sort the kit, etc, do the
paperwork and generally make life a little easier for them. |
Which
person has had the biggest influence on your career ?
My friend Sue Sharples got me in to Ladies football.
My family who have supported me when
others thought I should have given up.
|
Which
player do you try and model your game on ?
As a player, I would have loved to have been as good as Pat Jennings,
but I guess it was more like Bobby Mimms.
As a secretary, I would like to be as
good as the ex-Spurs secretary Peter Barnes.
|
Club
supported :
Tottenham Hotspur, of course. |
How
did you get interested in the game ?
I always loved having a bit of a kick about as a kid and used to get
into trouble for playing at school (this was before girls played at
school).
I attended a match to watch my friend
play and then started going to training and it all went from
there. The next thing I know, I'm forming a club and the rest, as
they say, is history.

Comments
:
Funniest thing was at a home game one day, I walked through the bar of
the Clubhouse in my keeper's kit and a rather loud-mouthed guy at the
bar laughed and asked me "What do you do if they lob you ?"
I immediately replied, "Hope they
miss !"
The rest of the bar burst out laughing
and gave me a round of applause and my first drink after the match was
on the house !!
