Every now and then, we will be doing a FANS' FIVE FAVOURITES, where members of the supporters club will answer five questions about their favourites of Trafford FC. First up we have a couple of our longer standing supporters, Mike 'Cappy' Capp and Gaz Gardner. So here are their favourite:
Cappy
 |
| Cappy at Colne FC a few years ago. |
1) Current player
Mike Burke
2) All-time player
Aaron Burns
3) Away day trip
New Mills 2013 - Play-off semi final. It was a hot bank holiday Monday, and we had 2 coaches: one with the players on and Cappy's Tours Mini Bus, the team bus got stuck in traffic so the game got delayed whilst our bus arrived on time so had plenty of time for drinking beer in the sunshine! The support was brilliant and we won 2-0 after extra time!
4) Off the pitch moment
The journey home from Consett! The game was snowed off and the coach broke down on the way home, so I booked a taxi to the next village where there were more pubs! Chris Adams got wind of it and the next thing a fleet of taxis were ordered to ferry the players and some more fans as well. Chris got us all a load of free chip butties as a bribe so we would all stay in that pub. The committee stayed with the coach. 3 hours plus later, a replacement coach arrives but it couldn't use the same back lanes so they had to detour via Leeds to come and pick us up, by which time, we were all plastered! I'm not sure Dave Murray has ever forgiven me!
5) Trafford goal
Deon Depiaza v Salford City. We were both the top 2 teams in the NWCFL. Deon scored the 2nd goal late on; the anticipation as he went through one-on-one and the celebration when he scored! At 2-0, we knew we would go on and win the league, which we did!
Gaz Gardner
