Position
Good question, nobody seems to know
Most memorable game played in
Been too many to choose a single game to be honest, been a few good Welsh Cup ties I’ve been involved in for Boded and Hotspur, been a few good finals with Boded also.
Biggest highlight of football career so far
Being involved in the Boded side that turned from mid-table Anglesey League into competing in the Cymru Alliance
Best goal scored
My best is scoring the winning goal against Gwalchmai to clinch my first league title in senior football, but, everyone keeps reminding me of my extra time goal against Glantraeth in the Welsh Cup, it was a screamer to be fair, so as my most memorable, I’ll go for this one
