Profession : Aerospace Design, Senior Engineering Manager

Personality : Friendly, approachable and a peoples person
Being born and bred in Cherry Hinton, the Mighty U’s were a perfect fit.
A lifelong Cambridge United Supporter, since 1974, when one of my late father’s work colleagues offered to bring me up the Abbey to see how I got on, and then regularly when his shifts permitted. I never looked back.
I am an ever present and season ticket holder in the NRE, which for me, is the only place to be in the ground. I attend as many away games as possible, travelling the length and breadth of the country, with a great bunch of fellow members of the travelling Amber Army.
My most memorable awayday was spent down the Cavern Club, Liverpool, on Friday 7th December 2018, the eve of our game against Tranmere Rovers, where on the night I recognised and welcomed over fellow members of the Amber Army, and we eventually took over an entire corner of the club, with regular shouts out to the Cambridge boys.
In January 2015, I consider myself very fortunate to be asked by the club to be the mighty U’s super fan at the live FA Cup 3rd round-draw on the One Show, a fantastic night when we drew Man United, and I left their super fan, Christopher Eccleston lost for words.
I have previously worked on the turnstiles, and in more recent years have walked the CFU Lottery 50/50 winning numbers around the edge of the pitch at halftime for all to see.
Alas my exercise has been ended by technology, as the CFU Lottery has funded 2 new electronic scoreboards, which will soon be introduced on the Control Box down by the South Stand and on the Supporters Club by the NRE. I will be able to display the winning numbers at halftime. Please do get involved and set up a direct debit for the CFU Lottery, the score boards are merely an example of the benefits it brings to help enhance the experience at the Abbey.
Having been involved up the club for a number of years, I know first-hand what fantastic, passionate and dedicated bunch of fellow CFU volunteers and supporters we have at this club, working tirelessly behind the scenes to help make our fantastic club something for us all to enjoy and be proud of. We all love our club.
I believe supporters should have a voice, noting we all have varying opinions and a right to be heard, which has been provided by the club through CFU. We need to ensure the club we love, survives and flourishes for the benefit of future generations of U’s supporters.
I always promote, bring along and introduce new friends and work colleagues to the mighty U’s.
I have experienced many highs and lows following the mighty U’s over the years, and to steal another super U’s phrase, ‘Keep the faith’. Amber Army, United in Endeavour.
