Feeder Club:              Beaconhurst, Stirling Wanderers.

Annoying Traits:        His ability to almost gravatate players towards him. He doesn't really move that much, they just seem to always run in to his stick!! Also he has been telling the story for the last 4 months, that last season he had the most prolific stike rate with 2 shots and 1 goal, with the main reason being whenever he leaves his own 25 he gets a nose bleed and he was only in the D twice all season.

Famous for….            This man's moment came in the blue of beaconhurst when we used to play together. I've never actually seen anyone miss an EASIER opportunity. The ball was hit to him at the back post and after a swing and a miss, with the ball going through his own legs and rebounding off the post. He then proceded to fall over. The whole team couldn't believe what had transpired and it's fair to say he has never played upfront again. And NEVER will.

                                    Also this man's last golden Dita stick was actually a girls stick, he never knew it and had to play a whole season with it..!!
