Mark Brookes aka Sleepy's sidekick. Here goes then...
Favourite game:
Going a bit leftfield. Could have easily of gone with the cup final win or the Prescott play-off game but I've plumped for the Glossop NE @home game, season 18-19 (I think). We won 3-2. Trafford up 2-0 @HT, with the advantage of a blowing gale behind us. Glossop pulled level within the first 10 minutes of the 2nd half. To compound matters, Trafford went a man down but our left winger had a bloody worldie of a preformence & Trafford managed to win 3-2 - whilst under the cosh for most of the half and the weather turned worse: needed to take shelter in the stand across from the clubhouse with the old farts. It was a long way to walk for a beer 😂
Best moment:
Winning the ‘Lines’ predictions game a record 3 times or winning the even harder to win ‘Foxy’s Squares’ that was drawn once a season... but I'll go for the Intergro Cup final v Farsley Celtic: underdogs, great support, relentless singing, great performance, cup winners & the longest next day in work. EVER!!!
Worst moment:
Might be a bit controversial but the 2014/15 season - totally out of our depths after an encouraging 1st season finishing in the top half of the division.
Most Dangerous Moment:
Being stood only a yard a way when Sleepy Lee decided to anal guff with toxic gas and virtually clear out the clubhouse. I’m fortunate to still be here to tell the story
Funniest moment:
South Shields at home. Whilst still in the game we had a player sent off (can’t remember who). Whilst the player was walking off, he either said something or gestured but the South Shiels’s fans didn’t take too kindly it. Cappy’s crowd control kicked in, hurdling the advertisement hoarding and ran onto the pitch towards the Shields’ fan with his arms flapping - presumably saying ‘calm down, calm down’, without the curly wig & shell suit.
Piss ‘ed Johnny was a close 2nd talking about Christmas trees on the way to Darwen!
Favourite fan:
So many!!
Malcy rock & roll, for the distance he travels. Glinks, Muggles, Bunkey for the work they put in, Paul Faulkner for being a Trafford hooligan, but my vote goes to Matt Marron (Brown in French. don’t you know) for introducing me to the wonderful world of Trafford. After months & months of persuasion in his Caister Close days way back when, I finally took the plunge and to you Sir I’m most grateful
Worst fan:
Non we’re a family club
Favourite player:
Loads of class players but it’s gotta be Burnsy for me.
Why:
Top bloke. Great finisher. Has the knee slide perfected to a tee but the clincher is that I have his body warmer (which I wear for bed every night - that’s a joke, honest). Closely followed by Chrissy Palmer who has Trafford in his heart and is always has time for a chat with the fans... and, as I ride to work, I would love to ride his bike!
Least favourite player:
There’s a few but won’t mention names just in case law suits follow.
Best goal:
Dorney’s last minute top corner screammmmer against Ossett. Looked a lot better from where I was standing surveying the tactics behind Bakes’ dugout (how times have changed)
Best song:
Every Saturday we follow. When everyone in the full swing.
Worst song?
The stupid Tarzan one trumps any bad song
Best ground:
Is Shawe View allowed?? Best fuckkng pitch outside Wembley
Worst ground:
Pontefract. The ground was set in a war zone and was even worse once inside
Most hated team:
Non we’re a family club but if pushed, Wooky (their fans are the problem and but the club are in total denial).
Hope for:
To see Sleepy Lee as an adult mascot😂 Leading Trafford out in a full kit, holding Edgey’s hand. Surely that can be arranged. Come on!!
Best fans:
Trafford! but Colne keep us on our toes.
Future long term plans for Trafford:
Boring I know but stability. Tom/DC/Gibbo to stay at the helm and to bloody build that stand! I’m sick & tired of standing next to the wally with the brolly
Pre match routine:
I do all the jobs allocated to keep the missus (sorry Belinda) happy.
Pre match meal/drink:
Bacon butty, pork pie & a pint of Freedom. Body’s a temple
