Describe your footballing style in one sentence?
I am an aggressive and explosive Centre half who doesn’t get beat for pace.

Puma

Twitter?
@unlxckperformance - business page

What do you do when not playing football?
When I’m not playing football, I rap and do music on the side.

Where do you enjoy spending your summers?
I enjoy peace so anywhere where I can chill without getting a headache. Could be a beach or on trips with my mates

Favourite TV Show?
Tbh I don’t really watch Tv but I’d say my favourite series growing up was police interceptors. It’s always action packed and you never know what surprise you’re in for.

Favourite Film?
My favourite film is Avatar. One of the best productions and storylines I’ve seen.

Go to beer?
I don’t really drink beer I prefer an African beverage called supermault. If I had to choose I’ll go Stella.

Dog lover or Cat man?
I love dogs, especially the big breeds like German Shepherds. Cats ain’t very exciting too me.

Coffee or Tea?
Coffee all day long.

Eat in or Take out?
Eat in. I can’t hear the series and documentaries I watch when I eat out. I need my space

Favourite Takeaway?
Favourite takeaway has always been Chinese and still is but I can never forget the Indian i had a couple years ago when I was at Clacton, serious stuff.

Matchday meals?
Pre match I usually eat pasta, have a banana and hydrate on water. On the way there I consume a lot of electrolytes. I’m a big lad so post meal I make sure I have a heavy carb and protein meal. Usually chicken and rice, sometimes a cheeky pizza if we win.

Pre match rituals?
I actually don’t have a pre game ritual haha. Tbh I always used to wear crocs but I’ve stopped that now.

Go to dressing room song?
I’d say some rave music. And no I’ve never been to a rave but my teammates tend to play it, really gets you in the mood.

I did say I do music, so if I’m feeling generous they might get a few bars out of me haha.

What football team do you support?
Before I ask this question. No I’m not a glory hunter. I always heard about this team when I was like 6,7 but never knew what league or country they played in. Got my first fifa in 2010, started looking. For them in league 2, Italy, Germany until a couple months later I found them in la liga, and was mesmerised by the quality of the squad. Yes… yes it’s Real Madrid

Name the best ground you've played at?
Best ground I’ve played at would be Eastbourne borough or Cambridge city

Best player you've shared a pitch with?
Best player I’ve shared a pitch am with was Richard kone, whose story is amazing by the way. Didn’t trouble me the when I played against him tho haha.

Favorite football player?
I admire Ramos. He has it all Leadership, Defending, Passing, Aerial Ability, and he scores also. A fantastic player to look up to. Plus he’s a Madrid legend.
