Personal details (the usual rubbish...)
Age 34. Height 5'9. Weight 12'7. Job: Software developer. My Gran moved to Highbury in 1939. A few days later the 2nd world war started. Bit of a temper on her my Gran. During the war she had 5 kids. My Grandad obviously got a bit confused when he was told he had to do his bit for the country. My Mum and Dad still live in the same road which means I get lots of food before and after the Arsenal home games. Actually I normally get shitfaced in the Gunners after the match and end up sleeping in my parents spare room.

Favourite moment in football (when you were playing)
Well there was this match where 2 of the opposition players tried to get the ball from me and took no further part in the game.
Most embarrassing moment (when you were playing)
Having to take my shirt off to go in goal.
Most hated Scum player (ie. Tottenham Hotspur)
This question is too hard.
Most hated Scum player (ie. Internet Hotspur)
The fat ugly one. Hmm, that doesn't narrow it down much.
Nastiest injury
I went to sit on a wall in Blackstock Road. I misjudged the leap or my hand slipped or something and managed to throw my self backwards over it, you know, like one of them olympic high jumpers. The next afternoon I woke up in the Royal Northern with stitches in me head.
Greatest moment of Cybury career
Pushing one of the sarf london raiders over and getting the free kick. Seriously though my greatest moment is yet to come.
Football-related claim to fame
Chris Whyte was in my year at school. No that doesn't really count does it ? Charlie George told me to fuck off.
Will appearing in a glossy national magazine change your life?
Unfortunately I missed this match as I was in the Maldives. Oh how all your hearts bleed for me :-)
How many Darren Skeelses are there?
Too many?
Have you got a home page on the web? If so, what address?
No, I wouldn't be so pretentious.
