I was born in Accy Vic Hospital, and I've never lived anywhere else but Accy. Lots of my friends will tell you that I used to live in the hospital coz I was in there so often!!!

I was first brought to stanley when I was 7 and will next season celebrate 20years of following the mighty reds.

I was given plenty of opportunity to wander from the chosen path when I was growing up, I'll even admit to owning Liverpool, Man Utd and Norwich shirts. But my dad did it right, he told me to follow players in the top divisions, not teams, I owned those shirts based purely on the fact that my favourite league player played for that club. I was always encouraged to choose stanley as my team.

I remember my grandad telling me I was born here so it was in my blood!!!!(He was born in norwich, but somehow it was in his blood too!!!) That stuck with me and I'm still here. I'll never be anything but a red.
