Question 1 – When did you join the Old Ruts and why?

I joined the Old Ruts in 2003 after being asked by Scott Hawley who played for me on a Sunday. I was supposed to take the first team, but changed to the reserves by choice.

Question 2 – What was your most memorable match and why?

The Semi Final of the Surrey Intermediate Cup in 2007 – Within 7 minutes of the game starting I was joined by Scott Rider having been sent off! Not a good start! As the game progressed we had a second sending off with Steve Nash. Thinking that we had previously beaten the side twice, at 1-0 down Richard Lines came on. We had a corner, he scored, we were then level at 1-1, as we celebrated we then had a 3^rd player sent in  Ryan Brown, so we were down to eight players. We lost and I cried at the effort of all the players.

Question 4 – Your funniest Ruts Football Memory.

I remember going around a roundabout six times with the President at the time (Gavin Lennard) our Sat Nav kept telling us to take the fifth turnoff, when there were only four!

Question 8 – Most embarrassing Ruts moment (Playing or Socially)

A player arrived drunk for the Senior Cup Semi Final, I told him to apologise to his team mates. I had to play him, he was sick on the pitch! No names mentioned.
