1. Tell us who you are outside of the club. What do you do, how would you describe yourself?

I work as a Research Assistant at UCL Respiratory. We are currently working on a clinical trial for a treatment for some forms of Lung Cancer. It sound more fancy than it is as I am pretty much lab bitch.

 

2. How did you end up at Merton FC?

Me and my friend Josh play 5-a-side with some of our other friends every Tuesday at Rock Lane in Barnes, we wanted to start also playing 11-a-side and so googled teams that were close to each of us. Merton looked the most professional; some teams just having a number posted!

 

3. What was your best moment in your MFC career till now?

Probably last week playing against the 6s in a close fought derby. It was great to come up against familiar faces and have a good game.

 

4. If you could play for a professional team, which would be it and why?

Arsenal. My favorite team and also the style of play is amazing and would be great to play in.

 

5. Do you have any pre-match rituals or superstitions?
Eat porridge on game day, even though I really can’t stand it.

 

6. Lastly, share us your goals/expectations for the season.

To help the team in any way, and also to keep playing well and to try and start scoring some goals!
