My schools:
St Monica’s Primary School and Savio Salesian High School.

My favourite teacher:
Mr Talbot of Savio, he always supported me through out school, he was always on hand whenever I needed to catch up on my school work if I had been selected to go away with England!

Favourite subject at school:
PE, always my favourite, especially when I was allowed to join in with the lads.

Were you streetwise or a bit of a geek?
Definitely a streetwise kid, I was always out the minute I got home from school until my mum shouted me in. But being geeky is definitely something not to be ashamed off.

My favourite childhood band/singer:
I love a bit of everything.

My favourite extra-curricular activity:
I just loved to play football, as I got older the gym became my next passion after football. I take a lot of interest in nutrition too.

My favourite book:
I like any autobiographies

Do you remember your first school crush?
Ha ha ha…. yes I do, a lad called Shaun Daulby, he was my best mate for years too!

School dinners:
When I was in school healthy dinners were just coming in… I’m not aware of what happens now but I would like to think healthy options are the priority in school. It’s important to educate the younger generation how to look after their bodies, my nephew is three and always takes fruit to school

My ambitions at school:
I was a very focused kid, I knew what I wanted and wasn’t going to let anything  get in my way, and a lot of sacrifices had to be made along the way…. I always wanted to be a professional footballer and represent my country.
