Q
How long have you been following the club? I’m the third generation of my family, I’ve been following the club for 19 years, first standing on a box to see over the railings for our FA Vase run of 94/95, but my family have been involved with the club since the 1940’s In that time what has been the high point - and the low point? Reaching the FA Vase Final at Wembley in 1995 was a massive high, considering that the club had been closed down and had only re-formed in 1991, playing locally on a roped off pitch at Cutteslowe Park. Fantastic FA Cup runs in 1999 and 2009, being narrowly beaten by league clubs Wycombe and Burton Albion in Round 1. Low points were seeing us relegated to the Spartan South Midlands league in 2005, although we did win the division the following year and continued the rise to our highest position in the pyramid, here in the Skrill (Conference) North. Who's your favourite current/all-time player and why? Favourite current player is a tough question as our squad is very talented; I’ll go for Jamie Cook.
