Most embarrassing song on workout/Favourite play list?

Many iv got such a varied music taste probably a few vengaboys

How would you describe your football journey? Played youth football for mostly Johnstone teams few Paisley teams then amateur football since I was 16 probably too young should have stayed up to under 21s but playing amateur football that young certainly makes you grow up and get used to taking a few hits. Played for Saturday afternoon teams Kilbarchan amateurs, Glentyan thistle, Calderglen, Viewfield Rovers, Fordbank then moved Saturday morning to gryffe thistle and east lane before moving to Sunday football as it suited better firstly with millbrae then they merged with woodlands

How do you try and stay fit?

Is their a player or players who have been most influential over your career? Not that I played with although I played with some cracking players over the years who I will have picked up good and bad habits from grew up watching Barry Ferguson definitely influenced my captain style as many many players iv captained would still call me a moany b***ard.

Can you describe a particularly memorable goal or victory that stands out in your mind? Best goal and memorable victory in one game was Glentyan 3- 2 Paisley Amos they were the league favourites and we were a relatively new team we went down to 10 men early on and we were drawing 2-2 with 10mins left and I curled in a free kick top bins from about 35 yards.

Have you generally been injury free throughout your career? Mostly, thankfully! Not been a player for strains or pulls here or there snapped ankle ligaments and damaged both knees in impact injuries but generally always available

What GDSFC teams have you played for?

Only Millbrae and Woodlands

When did you 1st join GDSFC and which club? First joined the league with Millbrae few years ago

What positions did/do you play in? Used to be a tricky left winger in my youth but after a few years playing amateur I wanted more involved so migrated to CM and been there pretty much ever since

Do you have a favourite strip you have worn over the years ? Hard to think so many amateur teams strips are similar Glentyan yellow and blue hooped strip was good though.

Who was the best team mate you have/Do play with? Best team mate Jamie Whyte game intelligence and tactical know how was brilliant to play with

Favourite boots?

Adidas predator

If you were a super hero which one would you be? Need to be captain America Red White and Blue suits me

Biggest diva? Wouldn’t really say we have any

Team Joker? OB

Coaches Golden child? Some will probably say me😂

Which of your team mates is most likely to become a reality star? and on what show? OB britains most wanted

Player to watch out for if come to watch ?

OB is very skilful can beat a man or two or three, Scott will cover every blade of grass on a pitch he’s everywhere!

Hopes for the season?

After merging teams and a terrible start to the season, avoiding relegation then trying to climb and finish as high as we can in the table

Hardest team to play against? Despite taking a few sore ones to some good teams earlier in the season I found Strathy hard to play against as they sat so deep and well organised breaking them down was difficult such a strange game to play in. Glasgow North and Fairfield are very good teams though

Who was toughest opponent(s) (player) you faced this season? Probably Glasgow North striker Tony Garth
