What
would the others in the club say your strengths are ?
Hard
working / ‘Never say never’ attitude / Soft touch! |
Which
person has had the biggest influence on your career ?
A
games teacher called Ian Wolstenholme. He realized I was never going to
make it (!) and suggested something around the edge of the game i.e.
Coaching / Refereeing / Making the half time teas ! |
Which
player do you try and model your game on ?
I
think if I named a player I modelled my game on they would sue me! I
have a turn named after me – The ‘Crufts‘ turn!
I
admired players like Gary Mabbutt and Graham Roberts from the past.
Total determination / Club players.
As
a manager, I would like to model myself on someone from the past like
Keith Burkinshaw. Bill Nicholson was my hero as a youngster and still
is. |
Club
supported :
Tottenham
Hotspur FC - Saw my first game in 1967. I was born two months
before we won the Double in 1961. |
How
did you get interested in the game ?
My dad was a first class referee and we used to go to his matches as a
family.
My
older brother played at a good standard also. I used to layout the kit
for his team with the manager so I was probably destined to be a
football odd-job man! |
