| How many years supporting Hinckley? | |
| 5 years | |
| Favourite League Football Team? | |
| Leicester City (for my sins) | |
| Favourite Hinckley Footballer, Past and Present? | |
| Past - Andy Lucas was a star striker, and always seemed to come up with a result for the Knitters. I also rated Guy Hadland for his consistency | |
| Present - John Burns has a real talent with the ball, and his arrival last season really made a difference to the team's performance | |
| Favourite League Footballer, Past and Present? | |
| Past - Many moons ago I followed Oxford United, and I used to think that Nigel Jemson was excellent in front of goal | |
| Present - Not sure, they're all paid too much! If I had to say anyone, it would probably have to be Frank Lampard. Of all the money that Chelsea have spent over the last couple of years, Frank has been the best buy | |
| Best and Worst Non-League ground visited? | |
| Best - Cambridge City have a nice set-up, I also like the ground at King's Lynn | |
| Worst - Leek Town (Ugh!) | |
| Best and Worst League ground visited? | |
| Best - It's not the biggest by a long shot, but the Walkers Stadium is a damn fine ground with excellent visibilty wherever you sit | |
| Worst - Villa Park. Last time I went there, I ended up sitting behind a post and missed the entire second half as all the action took place up the other end of the park, where I couldn't see | |
| Best and Worst Hinckley game attented, and why? | |
| Best - 9th October 2001 against Stafford Rangers at the Middy. It wasn't a classic game by any stretch of the imagination, but we'd lost to Stafford away 4-2 only a month earlier. When the lads came out that night, they had 'pay back' written all over their faces and ended up thrashing Stafford 3-0. A great game and a great result | |
| Worst - 20th September 2003 against Newport County at home. We lost 4-1, and it was one of those games that you just wish would end. We got payback at the away game though as we won 3-0. | |
| Best and Worst League game attented, and why? | |
| Best - I really can't remember. Leicester have been such a let down just lately that I try to forget the games I've attended | |
| Worst - Leicester v Man Utd at Old Trafford about four years ago. We were a few thousand blues amongst 60000 red shirts, and I felt so uncomfortable it was unreal. The abuse we recieved as we walked back to the car was incredible | |
| Any other sporting interests? | |
| Tennis, Badminton and Fencing | |
| Hinckley United Wishlist (realistically!) | |
| Wouldn't it be nice if some really rich guy could come along and see the potential the club has - and ultimately sink a few million into the team. We could then expand and hit the League big time. I thank that's my main wish - to see the club in the League | |
| Anything else about Hinckley United? | |
| Just to congratulate everyone who has worked so hard to get the new ground underway, and to wish the lads the best of luck for the rest of the season | |
