My future at the club - 26/10/2002

Proud to play at this club!

I was interviewed by Sky yesterday at the launch of the web site. It’s not one of the things that I enjoy in football, I don’t mind having a chat about the game, but with a camera right in your face and mike pushed in you mouth, I don’t enjoy it. However I realise that when you play for a club this size, the press are quite often wanting to stuff. They wanted to interview Dabi, but Dabi said that he’d only do it if they also interviewed me..cheers mate!

Anyhow I got home and although I actually haven’t seen the piece, I’ve heard that it came across that I said something like “if I’m not going to play then I’ll have to look elsewhere”. Well, just to make sure that no one thinks I’m taking my bat and ball home, I’d like to say that I signed a contract in the summer. I knew I wouldn’t be first team regular, and I knew I’d spend a lot of time in the reserves. Yes, I am disappointed that I’m not featuring as much as I would have liked, and with all the games we’re playing, I thought I would have had a few more chances. We’ll see whether I get a shot at Everton in the Worthington Cup. Having said that, I’m here to train and play as best I can. I love this club and want to play here more than any other team. I’ll work hard in training and I’m not the sort to knock on the gaffer’s door. Put it this way, I’m not calling up agents asking for a move!

I’ll be at the ground this afternoon and I’ll be wanting the lads to get three points – I’m a Geordie and that should say it all.
