When did you start? ...Boxing Day 1966... 3. What was the first game you can remember? ...where we drew 3-3 with Norwich after being three down with 20 minutes to go.

Lennie Lawrence (sorry, Curbs) 6. What is the best goal you can remember?

CAFC 4- 3 Brighton, Peter Ward in his pomp, and a final headed (!) goal from Colin Powell CAFC PRESENT. 1. Who is your current favourite player? The only player that gave me any pleasure to watch or hope for the future last season was Callum Harriott, so I guess he's in the frame at the moment. 2. What do you think of Chris Powell as manager? He needs time, patience, support and luck. 3. How do you feel about our owners? Done all they said they would - we've now got direction and purpose off the field and that's all we can ask for - the players now need to respond. 4. What was your highlight of last season? Stewart's glorious cross onto Semedo's head. 5. What was your favourite goal last season? BWP's header against Yeovil - you saw from his eyes where he wanted the ball to go and it was inch perfect. 6. What was your favourite game last season? For the first time I can remember, in football terms nothing stood out. 7. Whats your prediction for the coming season? I've been saying for goodness knows how long that this is the season for promotion and I stick with that - didn't expect so many changes but that hasn't deflected me. OTHER TEAMS 1. Who are your second team? Morecambe - Mrs TA's home town. 2. What team do you hate the most? I don't think about the game like that... 3.

If you could remove any team from the football league, who would it be? None, except the final three. 4. What is your opinion on Firefighters from Sheffield? Same as anywhere else in the country, absolute heroes. Got two friends who are in the service - wouldn't have their job for twice the money they're getting. 5. Any annoying kids ever dropped a hotdog on your feet? No, but I've had the onions, Coke (in the can, at Nottingham Forest,ouch), chewing gum, water and I was once hit on the head by a baby's rattle. 6. Is Parky the best gaffer in League One? Shouldn't have got the job in the first place (although I'm adult enough to appreciate the reasons why he did) then long outstayed his welcome - guess that's a 'no'. and finally.... Other than CAFC, what are your main pleasures/hobbies in life? My brilliant little granddaughter, music, cinema/film, my mountain bike, photography, dry sparkling white wine, cooking and reading
