Player Profile |
|
|
|
In 1987 I was
asked by Chris Buck if I fancied watching a hockey match, unsure as I was
an avid footballer I went along to watch North Notts 1st X1 Vs
Boots played on grass. From the first moment I saw the GK Kit I knew that
was the job or me. I had to wait 2 or 3 years before I could play men’s
hockey in goal as we only had 3 teams. Once the 4th team started
the captain, a fresh faced Barrie thicket (ex 1st X1 GK) took me
under his wing and taught me all he knew. From there I have never looked
back I eventually made the 1st X1 in 1998 and went on to captain
the side from 2001 /02 to 05. |
