Biography

SPONSORED BY - Helen Goodwin

BEST MOMENT IN HOCKEY
Had some great times with all clubs at different levels. Individually getting asked to the England U21 Euro Championship final weekend (back in the 80's though)

WORST MOMENT IN HOCKEY
Not getting into the U21's......not really, that was no surprise......It was on a night out in Sheffield with my old Gore Court team mates many years ago. Long story ..... but their cup game had to be cancelled the next day as we all had to give police statements. Not a good day, no Gore Court players were at fault by the way!! It made teh Daily Telegragh on the Monday.

FAVOURITE MUSIC
Varies. Heavy, rock, soul, anything with a good baseline. It has also been noted I like a bit of Boom-Tish 80's disco sadly.

FAVOURITE FILM
The Deer Hunter, it's a tough and long watch but it's all about friendships and looking out fr your mates in good times but also in adversity

FAVOURITE FOOD
Thai / Vietnamese

FAVOURITE DRINK
Have had a go at most brews.......Currently it's Erdinger Weiss-Beer (4 for £6 at TESCO, Doddy or Bart extra discount please). Can't stand brown spirits.

HOBBIES
With club and work you're having a giraffe!!!

AMBITION
For Luke to grow up nice and safe and be proud of him.

WHO IS YOUR IDOL
Never had one....possibly John Marshall if pushed to pick one person. Generally have met a lot of good people through hockey and cricket.

TELL US SOMETHING WE DIDN'T KNOW
I wasn't always called the Southern Jessie..... That's just a Bart and Jasper creation.
