Interesting Football Fact About Yourself?
 
                                                                                 

I am, in fact, very supersticious and have several pre-match rituals which if i dont do then i dont play well. I must never tell anyone what they are though or it breaks the ritual.

Best Player You've Ever Played With:  

Can I choose 2? I've played in the same team as Vinnie Jones but he can't compare with these two - Chris 'Supermitch' Mitchell, always an honour. Also, Hugh Higgins; I was always a better player with him next to me. We were like Hansen and Lawrenson at fortress Braypool.

44 goals for Leccy in 82-83, 42 more in 84-85, 10 trophies in 7 years as player/ manager. 

Best Moment For Leccy: 

Beating Ford United 3-2 away (at Ford Prison!) after extra time in the semi final of the Sussex Junior Cup, March 1983. Every single inmate was watching and it was an amazing and intimidating atmosphere which we overcame. What a team that was! Two cup finals and the League title that season.

Every single one of the 221.                   

Favourite Food:

Bangers and Mash 

Favourite Drink:

Real Ale

Interesting Football Facts About  Yourself?                                                        
 
 

Played over 1500 games and I'm starting to feel every single one of them. Holder of the most goals in one season for Leccy; 44 in 1982-83. Anyone fancy beating it? There was some fella who came close once with 42 but that was me!


 P.S - I love watching you lot play so keep up the good work and look after Swiss. He's older than me and Supe!
But 20 years younger than Trev. Love, Macca.
