THFC Federation Cup

Where did your Hattrick team name come from? I played for a team called that when younger.

How did you discover the wonders of the THFC Fed? Searched for a Spurs fed, got stuck.

Why is the THFC Fed your favourite? I love Spurs, enjoy HT and this fed is very active. And not only Spurs related stuff.

Any suggestions on how the Fed can be improved? Can't think of any. Oh, a fed meeting would be nice but difficult for us overseas fans...

What other Feds are you a member of and why? Wanhat Parrat ("Old Beards"), a fed for Finns over 30... Åbo Akademiska Hattrickers, my uni fed. Turku-järjestö, fed for the city I live in. Defense Trainers,

Why did you become a Spurs supporter? Grew up with Spurs games on TV, the Finnish Broadcasting Company (YLE) showed games on saturdays in the early 80s. Can't remember much other than that I enjoyed watching the games with my grandfather. Found the spurs again when one of my favourite players, Klinsmann, joined us.

Favourite current Spurs player? Teemu Tainio and ED, JD, LK. Hell, it's difficult to choose these days!

Greatest ever Spurs player? The games I've seen, it would have to be Klinsmann.

Worst ever Spurs player? Atouba scored a nice goal against the Magpies but my nerves were killing me every time he was on the ball in our defensive zone. Thank god we sold him.

Greatest Spurs manager? Right now I can't think of anybody but Jol. But I do know the clubs history, so Nicholson.

What has been the high point and low point of the last Spurs season for you? Seeing Mendes score from the halfway line and then realizing that the two people who count, didn't.

What was the first Spurs match that you saw? (WHL and TV) Haven't been to the Lane yet, have been saving some money to come there soon. (Recently separated from my girl friend for 4 years which decimated my funds a lot, moving flats is expensive. Especially buying all the stuff you gave or threw away...) So, maybe next season when we're in Europe! On TV, can't remember. Maybe in 81, 82?

Do you own any Spurs football shirts? What designs? The two last years designs, 04-05 away and 05-06 home.

Favourite Spurs shirt design? I like the current home but I'm looking forward to next years Puma, they usually make nice shirts.

If you could sign any current Premiership player for Spurs who would it be? Lampard, I guess.

If you could sign any current world player for Spurs then who would it be? Ronaldinho.

Do you have a job in real life? What is it? Yes. I work as a Secretary of Educational Affairs at my universitys Student Union. Politics and administration, mostly.

What did you do with your spare time, before HT? watch football, play football, volleyball, floorball, sports fishing, scuba diving. still do all that though!

What has been the highlight of the Hattrick season for you? last weekends win, had 3 counter attacks!

Do you have a favourite Hattrick player and why? (That's an actual player and not manager) My SP specialist, Benoit Julia! SN on SP, was only solid DEF when I bought him, now high excellent. 12 goals so far this season, many of them ordinary goals even though he has only weak scoring.

Everyone makes a newbie mistake when they start HT, what was yours? Trained passing for a long time and with old players...

What position do you train? Have you always trained the same position? Defense. No, I trained PM but when I was falling back in to VI and constantly promoted nice defending youth players, I decided to change. 3+ seasons ago.

If you were giving advice to a new Hattrick player now, what would you say? Train keepers first.

Who is the biggest muppet in the Fed and why? Well, indiahope is bit weird some times...

What is your favourite Book? Anything by Isaac Asimov. Or Greg Bear. Or Ray Bradbury. Hell, I almost forgot Douglas Adams!

Christina Aguilera or Britney Spears in nothing but a Spurs home shirt, you can only have one, who would it be? I'd rather have a girl with darker hair, but in this case Britney.

Best movie of the year? Maybe Sin City? Haven't seen Hitch-hikers Guide To the Galaxy yet. I have the old BBC TV series on DVD though, marvellous stuff!

What was the last album you bought? Good, bad, indifferent? Can't remember at all, must be because I'm old? Probably The Hives or the Hellacopters. Or Moloko. Not albums from this year though. I only buy good albums, my taste is indisputable
