Tell us who you are outside of the club. What do you do, how would you describe yourself?
I currently work as a Data Security analyst, so I deal with internal and external threats to a large American Insurance firm. My work colleagues know me as a very reserved guy, which I totally agree with. My childhood friends know me as the dictator which says something for my footballing demeanor.

Getting Motm vs BoE and saving two pens in said game.

Eibar. Small ground, ¼ of the population at every home game. Small budget, yet fight way above their weight.

Never wear the same brand boots and gloves and always tape left knee before right.

Get promoted and have a decent cup run.
