12. Greatest playing memory/achievment: At Mods it has to be being part of the current winning run with the Ressies, great spirit between the boys at the moment. Away from Mods probably going unbeaten till last game of season when winning the league with Maggies and beating Farsley in 2 cup finals and the league with Yorkshire Amateurs. Being on tour in Holland with Otley Town and stuffing a Turkish team in the semis of a tournament the summer after Istanbul. Never wanted to win so much in my life.
13. Worst Mods or previous club memory: The start to last season with the Reserves. Missing a penalty in a cup final for Yorkshire Amateurs.

18. What do you do on a Saturday when not playing football - Try to go watch Leeds if I can, watch another Mods team or watch Jeff and the boys....anything to avoid shopping
19. Best Friend/s at the club - Alot of top top lads at the club at the moment but I'll have to go for Acki cos I've known him for years
20. If you could change 1 thing about the club what would it be - The new training top, its just a Scum kit with a Mods badge on. More mirrors in the changing room. Captains Armbands. A translator to accompany Norrie. A net behind the top goal to protect the trees from Adie's shooting. Honestly, everything about the club this season is geared towards success on several fronts. Just need to keep on improving and stay hungry.
