Here's Scott Lewis Interview Name : Scott Lewis Height : 6ft, and the doctor said I still growing Favourite Group : I just want you to know, I like the Backstreet Boys 'Ok Scott we will keep that one our little secret' Favourite Film : Starship Troopers, is there really someone out there ? Claim To Fame : Well that's gotta be being noticed by the Hengrove scouting system, once I was on board with them, I knew my career was about to take off. Playing along side players like Tom Moore, Tom Lester and me old mucker Dale has been a dream. When I was a boy I longed to join Bamfield, as they won promotion after promotion always pipping us, I always followed the management career of both Rodd and Craig, and hoped that one day I would play under them. Nickname : Scotty, beam me up ! Most Admired Sportsman : Peter Crouch, he's my idol, how he has got where he is today, gives us all hope.
Best Goal : That's the one I scored for Castle Court against Hengrove last season. It's was always a special place to come and play, and to score in front of their crowd was wonderful. I still had Andy to thank, as he let in a howler. I hit it from 40 yard, it bobbled along the turf, but he still let it through his legs. 'Thanks Andy'
Favourite Drink : A nice pint of cider for me, 'oh those apples'

Tom Lester or David Beckham ?
|
Interview With Tom Lester went a little like this ''Hi Tom come and sit down'' 'Thanks, I've really been looking forward to my profile with Hengrove the club I adore' Height: I must be 6ft 2ins of pure muscle, I'm a bit of a beef-cake really. Favourite Group: Well as you know, I'm a bit of a showman on the field, so I like that in my music as well, so I'll have to say Adam Ant. Favourite Film: As you know I'm well educated with 4 GCSE's grade E behind me, plus my education is still on-going, so I like anything that challenges my intelligence. So saying that its would have to be 'Who framed Roger Rabbitt', I knew all along that it wasnt that cute little rabbitt, and what a babe he got in Jessica. I just love those ears.
Claim To Fame: I've acheived many things in my short life, probably more than most would do in a lifetime, but my claim to fame must be understandimg the rules of backgammon, people say I was one of the fastest learners at the club.
Nickname: Glad you asked that, its 'De-tommio' , I got that when playing in front of the biggest crowd ever seen at Hengrove, I recieved a ball from Jack, I turned one player inside out, went on a mazy run beating 3 more players in the process, looked up, and sent a 45 yard crossfield pass to the feet of Sam Milkins. The crowd responded to that magic by chanting 'Who needs Di-canio, when we got De-tommio', boy that still brings a tear to my eye everytime they sing it. That's when the love affair with Hengrove and the fans began.
Most Admired Sportsman: Pele, people do liken him to me, except he's a Brazillian, his age, and shoe size. What he does for the impotent male, which I have suffered with in the past, by advertising a certain product on the telly really stood out for me.
Best Goal: Easy, a pre-season friendly, I chipped the first team manager from fully 50 yards, he was so impressed, he has'nt spoke to me since.
Favourite Drink: Milk, its full of calcium, I'm not into binge drinking, thats blighting our beautiful game. Milk keeps me in shape and looking good.
''Ok Tom, is there anything else you will like to add''
'Well I have'nt got too much time left, as I have a Sunbed session booked, but I really could become a film star or model when I hang up my boots, I reckon I'm better than that Vinney Jones bloke, and all the players I play against reckon I'm a good actor on the field, so one day my name could be up in lights, but I will not forget my roots.

Liam ? or Chadders ?
|
With Christmas almost upon us, we had half an hour off from training to have a few words with hengrove's footballing wizard Liam Farmer. Name: Liam farmer Height: 4ft 9ins, but as my girlfriend keeps telling me size do not matter ! Favourite Group: The Wurzels, isnt that strange that my names Farmer and the wurzels look like farmers. I love their music I find it "Gert good"
Favourite Film: Watership Down, thats strange as well, with my name being Farmer, and there is loads of rabbitts and fields and farms. Strange innit.
Claim To Fame: Well thats got to be the way I roll a bale of hay in under five minutes and get it tied up ready for the cows.
Nickname: I have two at Hengrove, 'Chadders or Chadwick', remember him ? he played for Man-Ure, ha ha, get it ? Man-Ure sounds like manure, down on the farm. ha ha ha
Most Admired Sportsman: Tim Henman, boy you got to admire that man, he loses week in week out and still comes back for more.
Best Goal: All my goals are quality, the best ones are when I nutmeg the defender and find the net. When I say nutmeg the defender, I mean, I nutmeg the defender, running through his legs, not the ball, blimey, do they not like that.
Favourite Drink: Any kind of shorts ! pint glasses can be a bit heavy to lift when full.
Well thanks for that Liam, we better let you get back to shearing the sheep.

Simon, do come and sit down and tell the public all about yourself.
Name: Simon Aston ( aka Aston Villa)
Height: I'm about 5ft 9 on a warm day, but sometimes Tom Lester lets me borrow his high heels, so I can be over 6ft at weekends.
Favourite Group: Well funny enough, that will be my book club, I recently joint. We all get together a couple of times a month and have a good old read. - The Mills and Boon books are my favourite at present.
Favourite Film : I love that new movie King Kong, what a cheeky little monkey he is !
Claim To Fame : Playing for Hengrove along side Andy and Tom, its like I'm walking on air, or water - oh what a dream, pinch me, its unbelievable.
Nickname: Well, I'm a quite lad, so I tend to to steer clear or nicknames, but don't tell anyone, but I have been called, 'Simple Simon' and 'Pieman', I think its all to do with the nursery rhymes.
Most Admired sportsman: The referee, what a player, and I love that little black book he has.
Best Goal: Roman Glass away, a run and shot from outside the area. It was a great goal, if I say so myself
"Well thanks for that Simon, its been a pleasure talking to you."
"As my Grannie would of said" " oh what a lovely young man"

If this was Jon, "he will miss"
|
Jon boy come and sit down and tell us all about yourself. Height: I'm 6 foot tall in a couple of weeks time.
Favourite Group: That's easy, its my lonely hearts group, its not easy being a footballer nowadays with all the training we do, I tend to miss out on the social side of things, so the lonely hearts help me out big time I normally go 4 times a week.
Favourite Film: E.T. I know what its like for that little creature to be alone in a big city, and I do phone home rather a lot.
Claim To Fame: I have a fine selection of head gear and i often hear people commenting on it. "what is a tommy tanker" ? I'm the coolest dude in this team, and my headwear just proves that point.
Nickname : J.R. only because when i shoot for goal all the crowd shout "Who shot JR?" - dont know what they mean !
Most admired sportsman: 'Happy Gilmour' how he hits that golf ball so far is amazing with a hockey stick, it must be true because they made a film about it
Best Goal: Always my last goal because i haven't got a very good memory so based on that i would have to say the one i scored against Olveston. It was a left foot shot from the edge of the area or was it a header from a corner?
Well thanks for that Jon, and oh don't forget your woolly hat
