Jimmy Bone at East Fife. He encouraged me and his enthusiasm helped me enjoy the game again.

How did your move to Central Park come about?

Keith Wright kept persisting for months and wouldn’t take no for an answer.

How does the set up at Cowdenbeath compare with other part-time clubs you have player for?

It is the guys behind the scenes and the fans who make a club.

Scoring a goal when we beat Albion Rovers last Christmas time to go third top of the league and beating Gretna 1-0 at Raydale Park.

What are your ambitions for the club this season?

Personally to reach playing 100 games and to win the title.

What do you plan to do when you finish playing?

I hope to carry on playing as long as possible but hope to keep involved in the game, although it might be difficult to obtain coaching certificates with my present job.

Finally, do you have a message for the fans?

Thanks again for your support, particularly at away games.
