How did you find Hattrick? Flat mate
How much time do you spend on average, per day, on Hattrick? Depends normally an hour or so but the past few weeks I’ve been on sick and practically live on here, I think I’m on here more for the chat than the game now
Where did your Hattrick team name come from? Where I from in Wales the Big local rugby team was known as the Scarlet sans when I was a kid watching Captain Scarlet on TV, I thought he was named after the rugby team (Christ how thick was I when I was a kid). Since then I’ve always liked Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons were the baddies
Any significance for your teams strip? Scarlet(not red!!) and Lilywhite, my rugby and football team colours
What is the “weird” thing you do in Hattrick that really doesn’t make any sense? I can’t help but check my team at least once a day even though I know nothing will have changed

How did you discover the wonders of the THFC Fed? Searched for Spurs joined the 2 Feds, the other one was cack so binned them
Why is the THFC Fed your favourite? Good friendly Spurs chat and it does not have the bitching other feds have
Any suggestions on how the Fed can be improved? No I like it as it is
What other Feds are you a member of and why? Grumpy old men because I am one, if anyone has a fed spot free I’d recommend it. HAM users and London Hattrick association
Why did you become a Spurs supporter? Good question, I don’t know! I remember when I was a kid all my mates started picking their teams, they all went for Liverpool, Man U or Everton and I flirted with all 3 because they all had Welsh players, then the next thing I now I’m a Spurs fan. It might have been the Panini Club badge sticker that was cool
Favourite current Spurs player? Robbie Keane and Robbo
Greatest ever Spurs player? Mainly because he’s Welsh and was in the double side Cliff Jones, if I had to pick someone I’ve seen play Hoddle
Worst ever Spurs player? This is really harsh because he was a great servant to the club and was a good player but Garry Mabbut, whenever I think of him I think own goal
Greatest Spurs manager? Got to Bill Nicholson
Worst Spurs manager? Gross, nuff said
What has been the high point and low point of the last Spurs season for you? Last season high point was against Liverpool first game of the season and my first game as a season ticked holder (Park lane, block 33) and the low point was going out to Liverpool in the league cup.
What was the first Spurs match that you saw? (WHL and TV) TV – 87 Semi final against Watford, WHL Southampton 03/04 Hoddle quit the next day :-( , bought my ticket off a group of Swedish fans who’d come over for the game, nice lads.
What is the most memorable Spurs match you have seen and why? Well it’s certainly the 91 FA cup but can’t decide between the final or semi
What was the worst Spurs match you have ever seen? Middlesbrough a few years back, got to have been the most boring 0-0 I’ve ever seen
