7. Best Player/s you have played with - Matt Pouncett – My Brother. He could play left, right or central. I played with him for a couple of seasons, his brain was 10 times quicker than anyone else.

Mods Player – Si Oliver; Mr consistency.
8. Best Player you have played against
Had a lot of players tear me a new arsehole, probably Barny on pro evo was my toughest opponent.
9. Football Idols – Dennis wise and Gus Poyet - fantastic ambition
10. Favourite supporting football memory - I was at white hart lane when Coventry stayed up when they had no right to on the final day of the season in 1997, they had to beat tottenham and hope Middlesbrough, and sunderland both lost. They both lost we won 2-1, I remember oggy saving an onslaught of tottenham chances in the last 10 mins, 5,000 city fans waiting for the net to bulge and the music to come on at the opposite end of the ground.
11. Worst supporting football Memory - Coventry getting relegated at Villa in 2001. Villa fans spiiting down on us from the Doug Ellis stand. Great day!
12. Greatest playing memory/achievment - Playing for my county for a couple of years. Becoming Captain of my adopted home this season.
13. Worst Mods or previous club memory - Losing 2 cup finals in one season and not getting promoted with hawkesmill, the best team I have ever played in ended up with nothing.
14. Mods Hero - Honoree pitch representative Tony Mullin
15. Best ground you've played at - Lilleshall facilities were amazing. Closely followed by bedquilts, and the postage stamp that the pitches are at soldiers field, 1x120watt light bulb to light up 3 changing rooms with 8 teams playing on the day. Fantastic.
16. Favourite Band/Artist and Track at the moment
Mick Artistic
17. Pre-match preperation routine - Try and get up and watch soccer AM, have a sausage sandwich then go and loose some money on an accumulator. Get down the club to listen to some more ground breaking, and earth shattering revelations from young Josh Williams. Try and find the 1 pair of decent shorts and socks we have, do as little as possible by the way of a warm up.
18. What do you do on a Saturday when not playing football - Watch another of the mods teams if they have a game, if not stay on the sofa with Jeff Stelling and the boys.
19. Best Friend/s at the club: My old mates Matty Lewis and James Haworth.
20. If you could change 1 thing about the club what would it be? Make Richard Hoole the bar steward, obviously every other week!
