How long supporting LI?

 Whenever the LS ‘amalgamation’ was.

Best ever LI game (Excluding 2002 cup final)

 I have a hopeless memory, but JCs kick to beat Agen at the Stoop by 1 point in the 6th minute of injury time rates highly.

Favourite LI experience off pitch (Excluding 2002 cup final)

 The Ebbw Vale match…hiding my nephew Harry under coats as we went through the Severn Bridge toll because he didn’t have a passport!

How did you start supporting LI?

 Because my team London Scottish went under due to gross mismanagement and individuals greed.

What are your non-rugby pastimes?

 Watching Freddie and Roddie playing rugby! Weed control at home. Telegraph Cryptic Crossword. General Chauffeur!

Any Irish connection?

 I once worked with dublinannette!

Most likely to say?

 I can’t make the LI match, the boys are playing.

Least likely to say?

 I hope my sisters in law come to the match, then they can sit either side of me and we can all have a nice chat for 2 hours.

Tell us something about you we don't know.

 Once upon a time I was the wine pundit on LBC Radio. I was also the so called expert guest on the first ever QVC Wine Hour…we sold 3 bottles!
