How did you find Hattrick? A fellow colleague introduced me to Hattrick when I first started my job. He has now left and has since quit Hattrick, while I have been playing it ever since.
How much time do you spend on average, per day, on Hattrick? I log on so many times at work; it probably accumulates up to 3-4 hours.
Where did your Hattrick team name come from? My nickname has always been “Nenor” for some strange reason….? Therefore just simply Nenor Utd, although I wish it was Nenor Hotspurs.
Any significance for your teams strip? I’ve tried to design the fabulous new Tottenham kit for the coming season, I think it’s quite good.
What is the “weird” thing you do in Hattrick that really doesn’t make any sense? Logging in every 20 minutes or so, even though I know nothing will have changed.
What ambitions do you have in the game, how far would you dream of going? I’d love to get to the English Premier Division and to also win the Cup one day.
How did you discover the wonders of the THFC Fed? I just came across it, I brought supporter not so long ago and I knew that there must be a good Tottenham Federation. Now I’ve found one :D
Why is the THFC Fed your favourite? You can discuss Tottenham with fellow fans, instead of doing it with my Man Utd mates, they are so boring. Although I am quite opinionated and I don’t agree with a lot of things that have been said on the threads that have been started.
Any suggestions on how the Fed can be improved? Maybe it being more active, it is fairly active already but I’m a demanding guy ;p
What other Feds are you a member of and why? I’m also a member in Golf Player Association of Hattrick, I’m a keen golfer and it is good to talk about it. It’s very small and not very active so it’s not that great. I’m also a member of the Playmaking Fed, it’s a great place to discuss and compare our playmakers and you can also advertise your players on there. Last but not least I’m a member of the EPL, I’m a huge fan of football and I like to think I’m knowledgeable of all teams in the Premiership. I love transfer speculation and gossip, whatever the team.
Why did you become a Spurs supporter? Honestly it was because my best mate in primary school supported them so I started. God I’m glad I did, they are a big part of my life.
Favourite current Spurs player? This is a tough one but it is probably Michael Dawson. He’s always smiling and he’s a quality player.
Greatest ever Spurs player? Jimmy Greaves without doubt is the best player ever. Youngest player to score 100 goals and he was a lethal striker.
Worst ever Spurs player? Stuart Nethercott
Greatest Spurs manager? Sir Bill Nicholson
Worst Spurs manager? God Christian Gross, waving his tube ticket like a complete muppet at the press conference.
What has been the high point and low point of the last Spurs season for you? High point was probably the stat of not losing back-to-back games. This was the key on improving from the previous seasons final positions and points tally! Low point has to be the final game of the season against West Ham, being edged out by the Scum for 4 th.
What was the first Spurs match that you saw? (WHL and TV) I think the first game I saw at WHL was Tottenham v Bolton, must have been around 5 years ago, not sure of the scoreline? First game I saw on TV was the famous 1991 semi-final v Gooners where Gazza thumped that free kick home. I was very small at the time but I can remember it, funny what you can remember.
What is the most memorable Spurs match you have seen and why? Was the 5-4 loss to the Scum….It was such a brilliant game regardless of the final scoreline.
What was the worst Spurs match you have ever seen? Most of them under David Pleat
Do you own any Spurs football shirts? What designs? I have the home kits from the last 5 seasons, I also have last seasons away kit and the 3 rd kit for the 1999/00 season.
Favourite Spurs shirt design? Probably the Holston design 98/99 season.
If you could sign any current Premiership player for Spurs who would it be? Arjen Robben, he would sort out our left side problem. I don’t like him as a person as he dives a lot but he is a class player.
If you could sign any current world player for Spurs then who would it be? Kaka….he’s just ace!
Do you have a job in real life? What is it? I’m an information management assistant, I basically have a lot of reporting I do. I’m currently on a 3 month trial for being an accountant within the same organisation so that’s all good.
What did you do with your spare time, before HT? Played football, out getting wrecked every Friday and being a ladies man.
Can you tell us about your best and worst day in HT? Best day was winning my qualifying game to promote to V the other week. Worst day(s) was being stuck in my last division for 5 seasons, no chatting just silence.
What has been the best improvement made to Hattrick and why? I like the fact that you can search for leadership now on the transfer page. Makes it easier to find a suitable future coach.
What has been the highlight of the Hattrick season for you? Just won V.610 league.
Do you have a favourite Hattrick player and why? (That's an actual player and not manager) Jelte Pothuizen is my favourite player, I have trained him up from passable playmaking to outstanding and he’s not far off brilliant playmaking.
Who has been you best recent Hattrick signing and why? Per Nybo an outstanding winger has really improved my stats on the wings. He’s also a potential future coach as well.
Do you have any players that don’t really play, but you keep them anyway? why? No, I try to give everyone in my squad some games. All of the players in my squad are to a decent standard.
If you had the chance, what one thing would you change in HT? Probably change the match reports, make them more interesting to read.
Everyone makes a newbie mistake when they start HT, what was yours? I bought a bunch of players that were rubbish for ridiculous prices. Although a couple of them were legend signings.
What position do you train? Have you always trained the same position? I only really found out about training at the start of last seasonish. Since then I have trained PM with some success, tempted to in the future switch to defence training.
If you were giving advice to a new Hattrick player now, what would you say? Read the 10 top ten tips newbie guide at least 3 times thoroughly.
Who has been your HT inspiration or mentor? Gaz69 has helped me out a lot; he was the one that opened my eyes to training. He made an analysis of my team and gave me plenty of advice on tactics and potential signings.
Have you had any rivalries with other Hattrick managers? Evwendal in my last division, we both were pushing for the title last season. Thankfully he slipped up and I strode my way to the title.
Who is the biggest muppet in the Fed and why? I’m quite new to the fed so I don’t know that many people. All I’m basing this on is that Opera Phantom predicted that Reading would finish 2 nd this season in the Premiership.
Who makes you laugh in the Hattrick world? (either Fed conference or elsewhere) No one particularly makes me laugh too be honest, I’m too much of a newbie in this Fed.
