How many years supporting Hinckley?
25 years, firstly with Athletic. Saw them beat Staffordshire Police in my first league game in Aug 1977
 
Favourite League Football Team?
Leicester City
 
Favourite Hinckley Footballer, Past and Present?
Past - For United Morton Titterton, great player (and still is), and for Athletic Tony Canning superb left back who always had lots of time to talk with fans.
Present - Stuart Storer. We are lucky to have a player like Stuart he reads the game so well and his fitness is an example to all.
 
Favourite League Footballer, Past and Present?
Past - As a kid I always admired Leeds United`s Allan Clarke for his goalscoring abilities.
Present - David Beckham, great right foot and a good role model
 
Best and Worst Non-League ground visited?
Best - Holker Street, Barrow. Great atmosphere
Worst - Both Newport County and Grantham are horrid places.
 
Best and Worst League ground visited?
Best - Highbury, Arsenal.
Worst - Kenilworth Road, Luton, before it was done up.
 
Best and Worst Hinckley game attended, and why?
Best - Grays Athletic away FA cup 1st round, very emotional.
Worst - the defeat in the FA Trophy at Blyth was very disappointing as I had driven over 200 miles to witness a very lacklustre performance.
 
Best and Worst League game attended, and why?
Best - Not a league game but I will always remember Leicester City beating non league Leatherhead 3-2 at Filbert Street in the FA cup after trailing 2-0.
Worst - Saw Coventry lose 1-0 to WBA in 1979 at Highfield Road. Mind numbing.
 
Any other sporting interests?
I like to watch a bit of Cricket and was once a decent Badminton player (honest!!!)
 
Hinckley United Wishlist (realistically!)
This year to stay up, and in the future play Conference football at our new home.
 
Anything else about Hinckley United?
I would love to see the Hinckley public turn out in greater numbers. I really don't think they understand the level we are playing at.
