I'm a typical boy, my passions are music and sport, oh and my wife.

With sport it's mainly football and these days mainly watching, an achilles injury has confined me to the stands and denied the game my mediocre talents.

I had the misfortune to grow up in Lincoln so my early football viewing was at Sincil Bank. Being a loyal character I been cursed ever since with supporting the mighty Red Imps. Over the years I've tried to follow other more successful teams closer to where I live, but the passion is just not within me. A trip to The Emirates Stadium or whatever it's called is sterile compared to an away game at Barnet.

So I'm cursed with a 340 mile round trip to a home, to watch the ball in the air and if you think Premier League refs are bad you simply don't know the half of it.

I'm normally a very controlled man, but nothing gets the blood pumping like an 83rd minute equaliser against Torquay to reach the play offs.
