CHILDHOOD CRUSH Debbie Harry
FAVOURITE PROFESSIONAL PLAYER OF ALL TIME
Mmmm that’s a tough one, the Arsenal Invincibles had soooo many great players!! Favourite two are Thierry Henry or Patrick Vieira and if I had to pick just one it would have to be Patrick Vieira – he was the absolute complete midfielder – tough man prepared to go in where it hurts, but also had great finesse and a great leader to boot!
FAVOURITE BROWNS CLUB PLAYER AND WHY?
Again tough to choose, all the guys are so friendly but my vote would go to Ron – purely for his singing in the showers 😊
MOST DIFFICULT BROWNS CLUB OPPONENT
Billy Quinn – he’s like the duracell bunny, never stops bloody running (sorry ref I mean walking / mincing).
MOST MEMORABLE MATCH
To watch ; Liverpool v Arsenal 1989 where Mickey Thomas scored with virtually the last kick of the match to win us the League at Anfield. And to play ; Manchester Academy final match of the season victory to win the League.
BIGGEST THRILL
Being there at the birth of my 2 sons, Jake and Luca, Standing in the North Bank to watch Arsenal come from a goal down to beat Leicester 2 v 1 in the final game of the Invincible season, meeting my fiancée Carrie (IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER!!!!!)
JOHN LENNON OR PAUL MCARTNEY John Lennon
BIGGEST DISAPPOINTMENT
Rupturing my ACL when I was 35, cutting short my extremely underwhelming and average football career!

Grilled dourada, Algarvian salad, roasted mini potatoes and a couple of bottles of chilled vinho branco
FAVOURITE DRINK
