Biography
Bog Roll Salesman by day, the most exciting job in the world! By night; I enjoy my music, enjoy mind numbing telly and of course talking to fellow 'Well fans on the net.

Where do you sit at Fir Park?
In front of the pole at the bottom end of the East Stand. I’ve sat there for so many years now I can’t imagine sitting anywhere else.

What does your average matchday look like?
Typically, I make Jack Daniels my first stop before the match. I can be found there most matchdays with a pint of lager watching the early kick offs. Then it’s up to the ground, leaving enough time for a Steak Pie and a Bovril!

What was the first Motherwell game you attended?
Dundee United at home years ago. My mates at school were all 'Well fans and I was offered the chance to come along with a few of them and one of their old boys. We won that day and I was hooked! I suppose if things had carried on like that first game, you could have called me a glory hunter. Of course, all 'Well fans know it’s more about the rollercoaster than the winning!

Who is your favourite Motherwell player of all time?
McFadden.  I had the pleasure of meeting Cooper a few times when I was a lad and he was a true gent. I met McFadden a good few times and each time he showed a genuine appreciation for our support of him and his playing ability. A class above, both on and off the park.

Who's your current favourite?
Ross Forbes, simply for his left foot!

Best Motherwell game you've been to?
So many! For the achievement alone, away to Celtic two seasons ago when Simon Lappin scored and gave us the victory. Amazing given Bob Malcolm had given us a mountain to climb with his red card in the first half.

Worst Motherwell game you've been to?
Malpas' last game.

Hopes for the team for the season ahead?
Top six please and young players like Forbes and Slane signed up for another season.


Hopes for the Trust over the next year?
To grow the membership and regain respect within the club. Two simple objectives that will allow the Trust to thrive for years to come.
