What's the best thing about playing for Aldershot ?

The fact that the club is littered with good honest genuine people from the supporters to those that work behind the scenes.

What's the worst thing about playing for Aldershot ?

Never doing things the easy way and hardly ever winning by more than 1 goal! The fans must have ran out of nails ages ago and im sure some are now chewing there ebows!

What is the most memorable game you've played in for Aldershot ? and why?

Hereford away play off second leg, nobody gave us a prayer over two legs against Hereford and the scenes after the shootout win are something that will be hard to replicate no matter how long  my career lasts(except the day we finally win promotion back to the football league!)

What was worst game you played in? and why?

Play off final against Shrewsbury , never been so gutted in my whole life something words cant describe.

Best goal you've scored in a Shots shirt?

That's easy as i have only managed the one! The penalty against Hendon with my Redn Blue hair infront of the east bank the day we celebrated our Rymen championship! A great day

Who is the best player you've ever played with?

In my early days i would have to say Darius Vassell in the Aston Villa youth team even at the age of 15 you knew he was going places his pace was frightening! but at Aldershot it would have to be Adam Miller who was always a threat to opposing sides.

Who is the best player you've played against?

I have been fortunate to come up against many top players but while in the QPR youth team we once played West Ham and i remember Jermain Defoe ripping us to pieces and scoring a hatrick against me and his all round game was brilliant and im not surprised that he has gone onto the highest level. While at Aldershot i would have to say Daryll Clare as the guy always seems to score against me and is a class act at this level(conference) had we had him last season im sure we would now be a league club.

Which team has the best set of fans?

I have always said that if the league was decided by the quality of support then we would never lose a game and be champions every year! The only other clubs that i feel have good support are Exeter and Hereford as they always bring large numbers to the home of football(the rec) and as a player there is nothing better than playing games with a good atmosphere in front of a large crowd.

Do any Aldershot players have annoying habits?

Yes! Barny has a very annoying habit of trying to chip me in training and scoring goals and not letting me forget about it for the rest of the session! Also young Dave Winfield has a habit of sending players in early from training after they have been of the recieving end of one of his no-nonense challenges!
