Years with
club:

Hobbies:
Other than family all I have time for is soccer.
Favorite soccer team:
National Team: England of course!
Club
Teams
: Derby County a very distant second is Man Utd.
Favorite MLS team:
Well, I had to go to watch the Chicago Fire once!
Favorite soccer player:
In recent times I would have to say Gary Lineker, but have a lot of admiration for Michael Owen.
Favorite movie:
The Boondock Saints – This is a must see for a variety of reasons.
Favorite food and drink:

Curry and Old Hooky Ale. I’m fairly partial to gin and tonic too!
Most memorable moment on the soccer field?
When I scored my only goal for my school in 1986 and my coach commenting that I should never have been anywhere near our opponent’s penalty area! Also, winning the State Cup this year didn’t feel too bad.
One thing about soccer you would change?
Park management types not being so soft in canceling games when there is a slight spot of rain. Also, persuade the establishment it is perfectly acceptable to frequently water and play on short grass as opposed to often shag grass or hard surfaces.
What four famous people would you invite to dinner?
Gary Lineker, Winston Churchill, Salma Hayek and Richard Branson. It’s not too difficult to figure out why.
First thing you would do if you where president for a day?
There aren’t enough public holidays in this country! I would endorse a day off work for thinking of others less fortunate than us. I suggest that at some point during this day some monetary consideration should be given to or in kind donation should be planned for a charity or an individual less fortunate than ourselves.
