When did you start playing Hockey?

I started playing when I was about 14 at The Young Offenders Institute.

From there I went up to Borstal and played in their 1st team for a couple of years.

Who did you play for?

Young Offenders Institute U14 Squad

Borstal 1st XI 

Eurovision Song Contest 1st XI for past 8 years, Capt 2006/07

What Position?

Head Lock or Half Nelson.........oh you mean on the pitch.!??

What book are you reading at the moment?

The Littlewoods Catalogue as my flat mate leaves them all around the place.

What is your favourite film?

Toss up between Finding Nemo and My Little Pony.   

Favourite food?

Hospital or Prison food as that's all I am used too, certainly better than my flat mates!.

Who is the best player you have played with or against?

I’ve played with some great players but Big Teddy has joined us in the 2's this year (I pop him in my pocket as I play) and he is up there with the best. Toss up between Big Teddy and Andy Hurst..........no Big Ted every time.

Top Tip in Hockey? 

Try and dribble round as many players as you can, don't pass head down and then give the ball away, have a strop and then not run back and help, has always done me well.

What other sports / pastimes played?

Netball, Boule, Kite Flying, Badger baiting and Lumber Jack watching.

What Music do you like?

Have been a big fan of the Eurovision Song Contest since I was 5 and have all the albums and CD's, I know every winner since it was started in 1968. Also have all Peter Andre's Albums. The new Michael Ball album is on my Xmas list.

Who would you want in a fight on your side, from NSWHC.

I am a lover not a fighter. To quote a previous answer!

However if it was a proper fight it would have to be Lawrence as he has a face you could punch, apparently according to Paul Fowler. My opponent would be too busy concentrating on beating him up to notice me sculking off.

Future for NSWHC?

Grass Pitches, no youth policy and kick all Coaches and Captains who give up their time for free into the River Dee.

Philosophy of life?

If you know you are playing an opponent that’s better than you, cheat, talk to him, and do anything to put them off their game.

If you are going to have to give someone bad news, Text them it’s easier.

What is your idea of a perfect weekend?

Wake up next to Big Teddy and then re-arrange all the other Teddies and Soft Toys I have in my bedroom.  Have a quick Eurovision session before going shopping all day.  Back in time for Ant and Dec's Saturday Show while sipping Dandelion and Berdock and eating a packet of Cheesy wotsits.  Early to bed to so I can get up early for some more research into the Eurovision Song Contest, watch the Best of Michael Ball DVD.

Thanks Steve have a great season.
