Favourite League Football Team?
Bristol City
 
Favourite Hinckley Footballer?
Scott Huckerby, fast and has a fine touch
 
Favourite League Footballer?
Gerry Gow (Bristol City and Scotland) - aggressive, no-nonsense! Would not let anyone go past him (using fair means or foul!)
 
Best and Worst Non-League ground visited?
Best - Bath City
Worst - Yate Town
 
Best and Worst League ground visited?
Best - Bristol City, puts some of the premier league grounds to shame
Worst - Leyton Orient, stewards directed me to the home supporters end and couldn't really enjoy the game despite Bristol City winning 3-0!
 
Best and Worst Hinckley game attented, and why?
Best - Home v Tiverton 2001, lost 4-3 very exciting game, but didn't really deserve to lose
Worst - Home v Cheltenham 2001, seemed to concentrate to not getting hammered rather than getting stuck in and doing themselves justice!
 
Best and Worst League game attented, and why?
Best - Bristol City v Rotheram Utd, 1989 Old league division 3, had absoutely everything apart from a goal! Played at pace with a lot of commitment on both sides. Wet, windy and cold night with solid tackles flying in, good refereeing (now that is unique!) and not a player booked!
Worst - Fulham v Bristol City, early 90's, Fulham supporters (then) were more interested in pelting us with coins than watching the game
 
Any other sporting interests?
Golf
 
Hinckley United Wishlist (realistically!)
Survival this season, move to a better ground next season, top 6 finish next season and FA Cup action next season!!!!
 
Anything else about Hinckley United?
What I have seen with the club I have been impressed with. I always have liked non-league football as the atmosphere is significantly friendlier (eg the Salisbury City fan who was f-ing and blinding at his team during the first half, had a decent conversation with him at half time in the Chicken Shed. You wouldn't get that at a Football League club.
