Q: What has been your best memory of the club?
A: When we survived relegation on the last day under Bryan Robson. The Great Escape!
Q: What has been your most shocking moment?
A: When Pepe Mel left. I was disappointed as I really liked him and thought he’d do well if given time. But a number of the fans didn’t think much of him and that’s all it takes.
Q: Which ground is your favourite away day?
A: Villa Park (Aston Villa).

A: Johnathan Leko – exciting when he plays.
Q: Is there a particular youth player that excites you, and why?
A: Leko, as I said before. Could be big for us in the future.
