The Interview

Thank you for giving us a few minutes of your time, Mark
A pleasure.
You are playing under a new manager in the Reserves this season, how do you think he's faring?
Not bad for his first season, although he managed to cock up some paperwork which, to be honest, was the only thing we thought he'd definitely get right, but he's managed to blend the youth, experience and girth to create a useful outfit.
Speaking of Management, I understand that you've stepped into that role yourself on Sundays?
That's right, I've taken over the running of Norgren Druids FC from local chip aficionado Stephen Hedderman while he instructs his offspring in the way of the ginger.
And how is it going so far?
It started well with a local derby win over your good selves but as with the rest of the season, we've blown hot and cold and are lacking the consistency needed to make a late surge for the play-offs.
Or to avoid relegation?
That too.
By all accounts, the lady in your life is charming, attractive and funny but I heard a rumour she's a West Brom Fan, what's that all about?
Just goes to show there's no such thing as the perfect woman.
And finally, where did your nickname 'Pav' come from?
I have a love of all merangue based desserts.
Excellent, thank you for sharing some of your time with us
No problem
