KEVIN SMITTEN

NAME Kevin Smitten.
BIRTHPLACE Solihull.
PREVIOUS CLUBS
Cobblestone Athletic, Playground United and Street Corner Town – Pretty much anyone that would have me.
CHILDHOOD CRUSH Julie Christie.
FAVOURITE PROFESSIONAL PLAYER OF ALL TIME
Trevor Francis but George Best is the best I have ever seen.
FAVOURITE BROWNS CLUB PLAYER AND WHY
I have got to say Kirsty, thank God WF is non-contact. Really all of them as I have been made so welcome over the last 5 years but then again, I have missed the violence.
MOST DIFFICULT BROWNS CLUB OPPONENT
Toss up between Jim and telescopic legs Ebe. But trying to get a pass out of some people on your own team is up there.
MOST MEMORABLE MATCH Birmingham City v Carlisle in the Autowindscreen Final because it was the last one, I went to with my Dad. Crap game, £5 a pint, coach broke down in the Wembley car park and we didn’t get back until 3.30am. Good job Blues won.
BIGGEST THRILL The last 33 years sharing my life with Sharon and our three kids. Although scoring my first goal for 18 years at Browns was pretty good.
JOHN LENNON OR PAUL MCARTNEY John Lennon.
BIGGEST DISAPPOINTMENT When they stopped producing three quarter length shorts.
BEST COUNTRY VISITED The next one.
FAVOURITE FOOD Chicken Jalfrezi because I gave up bacon sandwiches.
FAVOURITE PORTUGUESE FOOD Pretty much any fish but hard to beat Grilled Dourada.
FAVOURITE DRINK Beer any type except the cloudy, fruity stuff my kids keep trying to give me.
MISCELLANEOUS LIKES
Playing any sport, drinking with friends, the torture that is supporting Birmingham City, seeing my family smile.
MISCELLANEOUS DISLIKES
Aston Villa, arrogant boasting, obscene money in football, violence to solve problems, poxy clubs claiming they are big clubs. So pretty much the Villa in a nutshell. Cheese couldn’t think of a link to the Villa.
FAVOURITE TV SHOW
Depending on my age Woodentops, Thunderbirds, Z Cars except that awful theme tune sorry Gordy, Steptoe and Son, the Sweeney, Young Ones, Blackadder.
FAVOURITE FILM Shawshank Redemption.
FAVOURITE SINGER Paul Weller.
FAVOURITE ACTOR Jack Lemmon.
BIGGEST INFLUENCE ON CAREER Boredom every couple of years I had to find a way out.
BIGGEST DRAG IN SOCCER
Other than Billy’s right foot in his exaggerated “walk”, it must be how soft it has become, poor old Jim wouldn’t survive the whistle being blown.
WHAT ONE ITEM WOULD YOU TAKE WITH YOU TO A DESERT ISLAND
The bible just to finally work out what the fuss is about.
WHICH PERSON IN THE WORLD WOULD YOU MOST LIKE TO MEET
Alive probably Putin to work out whether he is mad or bad. Any of my grandparents who died before I was born.
