Football Idol
Been a Burnley fan I love Robbie Blake but my idol would be Ronaldo, the fat one.
Biggest influence on football career
Had some great gaffers, but has to be Mark Jackson.
Career Highlight
Winning the North West Counties Division One league title with Silsden.
Most Memorable Game
Has to be in the Silsden title winning season, where was was drawing 1-1 with Abbey Hulton and ended up scoring a last minute winner which helped us push clear at the top of the table.
Lowest moment in football
Lowest point would be my two red cards this year.
Biggest regret in football
My 3 red cards and the regret of letting your team down.
Funniest moment in football
Some great away trips with Silsden on the coach in the title winning seasons, Volvic lives long in the memory (inside joke to those who know)
First semi-professional manager
Derek Graham who’s now chairman of the club (Frome Town)
Non League Debut
Frome town, in the Wiltshire cup against street, remember I scored two that game.
First Red Card in Non League
Head lost against Irlam, ended up kicking the left back after the ball had gone in anger with the way the game was going.
First and Best Non League Goal
First goal would have been for Frome Town, best goal has to be for Silsden against Nelson with a left foot swinger from the edge of the box that found the top corner.
What do you want to achieve in football in the future?
Win the league with Campion as captain and lift a trophy with the lads!
Favourite Non League Ground
Been to many but think Tadcaster was one of the best surfaces I’ve played on.
