Own Comments | What a journey – thanks to the lads for the opportunity to manage this great club through this 2-year contract. Last year was a special adventure into the wilds of the Trowbridge League, we did the business but it wasn’t to last. In June ’06 we almost folded, yet 6 months later we reach another cup final – it’s been emotional. I’d like to thank all of you connected with the club for your commitment on and off the pitch, especially Spud for last season, Jason Pleat for this season and this amazing website, Sven for being Sven and our sponsors. What happens next? Well I’m under doctors orders to hang up the boots – but you’ve got me in charge (with support from the virtual boot room – you know who you are) until the summer, let’s see what we can do by then – another cup and promotion double – Why not? |

Favourite | single | I Fought The Law (The Clash) (374k) This track reminds me of meeting Joe Strummer backstage after a gig. He spent the evening teaching a mate of mine the chord arrangements to this song whilst we ate his sandwiches. Top bloke. R.I.P. |
album | Blood Sugar Sex Magik (Red Hot Chili Peppers) (279k) I love the way the tracks on this album merge the bass, guitar or the drums seamlessly from one track into another. A masterpiece of funk, rap, and rock. Mimicked many times since but groundbreaking at the time. |

Own Comments | I’ve been lucky to be part of the best local football club in the Bath area and with a team that has stuck together for so long. The influx of younger players into the team over the past 24 months has been encouraging. The Trowbridge league was great fun last year but we’re rebuilding back in the Bath league and I really hope we can get to another cup final. |
