Nickname: I think the opposition crowd used to call me Both Ends as in Get him on at.
I play a bit like: Ian Botham. We're both a lot better since we retired.

Career Lowlight: The moment when I could wait for the next game to start.
Toughest Opponent faced: Friday Night.
Best player played with:Graham Thorpe. It's just a pity we played for England together at football!
Biggest Influence on your career:S Blanc ( New Zealand)
Describe yourself in 5 words: Struggling for vaguely humurous replies.
Weaknesses: I was far too understanding of the individual characteristsics of my team mates, particluarly as Captain.
If I hadn't been a Collegiate player... Ken Benjamin would have been given the credit for somebody else's wickets.
In 5 years time I will be:still able to put a penalty passed Wyles every Sunday morning in the De La salle warm up with ease.
Something interesting you didn't know about me: I don't owe anyone anything!
Current Car:Focus. Hence the above answer!
Ideal woman:Margaret Thatcher. She did more damage to Merseyside than any Salfordian could have wished for.
