1882 QPR

Personal/Random 

Q:Do you remember that penalty you saved at school in a shoot out to send Burlington Danes into the County Cup / London Cup Final in 1991 (can't remember which)?

I remember playing in goal for my school because I had played 2 or 3 games for QPR school of excellence that week. I don’t remember saving a penalty though in the semi’s!

Q:Can you remember Becky from The Spot club? I ended up fathering two of her children.

Yes definitely. Congrats to you both and say hi. That was mine and trevor”s favourite place to hang out in London

Q:do u still DJ what music do you mix?

Do bits and pieces for friends, but no clubs or bars like the old days. I love all kinds of music from Reggae, Ska to old Rare groove and obviously my US vocal house/Garage

Q:how are you enjoying life there? You're now officially a Canadian i here?

Life is good. Live in a fantastic city, very much like London(very diverse & multi cultural). The Mrs & kids have settled in really well and love the outdoor living that this country thrives on.

Q: You seem very much into your new media and stuff, are you a bit of a fellow geek?

I am into my internet stuff etc, but not too heavy. Recently just set up my own company where we make websites for Pro-Athlete’s who want the personal touch

Q: What is your favourite cheese?

Parmigiano of course!

QPR Past

Q:What was he thinking shooting from near on 40 yards away at wolves and how did it feel when the ball hit the back on the net in that game?

There was no thought in it, it was pure instinct. Probably my favourite goal ever! I remember doing an interview afterwards with Jimmy Greaves and Ray Wilkins walked by and said he tries that all the time in training , but most of the balls end up on the A40!

Q: (and this has been asked by a few fans so I'm ad-libbing a bit here) Can you explain how and why you left QPR as it seems to cause a bit of confusion within the fanbase.

There were 2 major factors why I left QPR and the fans have never known this and that’s why I probably always get a bit of stick when I’ve returned.

1; The club had secretly been trading my name around the league without my knowing. They had in fact agreed with 3 different clubs ( West Ham, Wimbledon , Sunderland) a 1.5million fee and told these clubs a deal would be done at any time. I was annoyed with this and felt the club had betrayed my loyalty with my hometown club.

2; My relationship with Stewart Houston & Bruce Rioch was not the best and after selling my best mate Trevor they told me I was next out the door! I couldn’t grasp how Houston kept calling Rioch ‘Gaffer’ by mistake.

Q: Everyone always talks about the atmosphere at QPR, what are your memories of the place?

My Dad started taking me to Rangers when I was 2 years old. I have many memories as a fan from watching the R’s in Europe at Loftus Rd and crying at Wembley twice( Once Vs Spurs in Fa cup final & second Vs Oxford Utd in the league cup).

Q: Best/Worst team mate (for whatever reason) ?

Best- Les Ferdinand & Trevor Sinclair. Les- being a boy from Notting Hill also, he gave me a lot of advice and guidance when I was younger.  Trev- we just clicked as good mates

Q: Best/Worst opposition player (for whatever reason) ?

Best- Probably Eric Cantona ( Classy intelligent player )

Worst – Robbie Savage ( more mouth than ability)

Q: Memories of the disaster appointments of Houston and Rioch?

See above

QPR Present

Q: Are you or were you a QPR fan?

Yes, since 2 years old

Q: Do you still follow QPR and if so what are your thoughts about all the Manager rubbish and Flavio's past interference?

I had high hopes like many other fans when these guys came in. To have as many managers and turnarounds as we have had over the last few years has been embarrassing! Hopefully now with the appointment of Warnock we can have some stability

Q: Any plans to get over to see a game?

Last xmas I came to watch the 0-0 draw with Watford with my best mate who I grew up with.

Q: Are you still in touch with any of your old team mates/current team or staff? 

I still speak with Ray wilkins occasionally and Trevor sometimes who now lives in Dubai

Toronoto/MLS

Q: What made you move to the MLS?

After moving out of London again with my move to Preston from Millwall. We made a decision as a family that we wanted to go and live in North America. I wanted to keep on playing, so MLS was the only option I had in both these area’s

Q: Would you say the MLS is on a par with the Championship here?

The MLS is growing stronger every year and we have new teams , stadiums and special players coming to the league now . I would say the league is on par with Middle/bottom of the championship

Q: Did Beckham have any effect?

Of course he did. Most of America knows about the MLS now because of players like Beckham, Blanco and Ljundberg

Q: Did you ever play against Gino Padula?

Yes a few times now. Gino is a great guy and he speaks very highly of his times at QPR and the fans

Q: Did you ever play against Becks?

Yes
