After some mithering by our old friend Stipey I have finally managed to get round to introducing myself on this ere new board!
So here goes!
Name: Chris McGrath
Occupation: Trainee Lawyer / Matchday Programme Seller
Location: Newhey
How long a supporter: Spent years pestering Grandparents to bring me after watching various highlights videos of Grandad's - Got my lucky break in 1991/92 season when they couldn't take anymore!!!
Favourite Game: Beating Munich's 1-0 at home was pretty special - Neil Adams you will forever be my hero!!
Although winning at Forest and Huddersfield this year have got to be up there, just because the manner in which we did it added to the fact that we never do! Lastly, who can ignore our seasonly trips to Valley Parade??!!
Favourite Moment: Being mascot at 9 was a wicked experience, especially as we beat Burnley 3-0!! The celebrations after the great escape, and Pointon's goal at Wembley in 94 and the 10 minutes thereafter, i was 9 at the time and just remember being picked up by a bloke in a chicken suit - bizarre!!
All time greats: Ooooh Rog, Stitch, Big Joe, Paul Gerrard (my goalkeeping hero). David Eyres.
Favourite Currents: Warney - need i say any more, Big Les - was delighted to see him back at start of the season, always new Shez was the type of person who would look after Les and get the best out of him a la Dowie.
Finish: Champions, having got to where we are with the run in we now have, would be slightly disappointed with anything less, or is that just greedy??!!
Biggest Rival: Wigan - hate the barstewards, always thought they were bigger and better than everybody - well they're not - Championship beckons!!! Munich's - self explanatory really and Bury, having gone to school and college there, had more than enough of them to last me a life time!!
Well - there's my autobiography!! lol! Hope none of you got bored after my name, i know i did!!!
I have a tendency to ramble, especially when i should be working!
