Captain Oates Talks About His Team-Mates


Ahead of tomorrow's FA Cup tie at Fleetwood Hereford FC captain Jimmy Oates has been telling Jack Moore of the Southern League about his team-mates.

First to training?
Jonny Evans - our physio does a hell of a lot for us and is first to training by about an hour every session.
Last to training?
Mike Symons - The big man finishes every session with an extra set of sprints. This might explain the extra gear he's shown a few times this year.
Managers's pet?
This one goes to Jonny too - snakey pants.
Worst car?
Not sure what all of the boys drive but my corolla has seen better days.
Best Trainer?
Birdy (Jamie Bird) - does some ridiculous things which make up for him belting half his shots over the fence
Worst Trainer?
Mike McGrath - have to give this one to Macca.. anyone that manages to do their ankle to the extent that he has during training with no one around him has got to claim this one.
Most likely to go into management?
Rob Purdie - already has great management skills and understands the game really well.
Most intelligent?
Pablo (Haysham) thinks he is.. and I could say Macca (Mike McGrath) but he thinks the earth is flat. So I’ll give it to Symo (Mike Symons) the teacher.
Least intelligent?
Birdy (Jamie Bird)
Joker of the Squad?
Dan Preston - tough to understand but he can’t open his mouth without everyone laughing. Deams (Jack Deaman) is a Joker too.
