Football before The Giants |
Learned all I know during a formative spell playing left-back for Pendle Leopards Cub Troop FC on a Saturday morning and right-wing for St James’s Primary FC on Wednesday nights. A journeyman career through many a field since then. |

Favourite Giants’ Memory |
Scoring two goals in the last 27 seconds (the ref counted!) at Norbury to turn defeat into sweet, sweet victory. |

Least Favourite Giants’ Memory |
Having my sodding bag stolen while playing at Norbury and having to go home across London in my kit in sub-zero temperatures. |

Consume an entire packet of Lucozade Energy tablets purchased from Victoria Station Boots. |

I think I bring to The Giants… |
A fine line in looking astonished at refereeing decisions. Ill-conceived backheels. |
