1. FAVOURITE CURRENT PLAYER & WHY?
Lee Matthews. He is a commanding centre back and wins the ball 99% of the time. He can bring the ball out of defence well and has a good sense of position

2. FAVOURITE PLAYER OF ALL TIME & WHY?
Glyn Creaser as he was another commanding centre back, who was also very good in the air, and had a good positional sense.

3. BEST TEAM PERFORMANCE?
Dag & Red 4 Telford 0

4. WORST TEAM PERFORMANCE?
Purfleet 4 Dag & Red 0 1997/98. Too much Christmas dinner?

Shipp v Peterborough in the FA Cup

7. MOST MEMORABLE MOMENT?
Stimmo's volley at Slough against Gloucester to put us in the Trophy final

8. MOST FORGETTABLE MOMENT?
St. Albans' second goal in the trophy 5th round. A defensive nightmare

9. BEST COMMENT HEARD FROM THE TERRACES?
If your arse was as big as your mouth keeper, your guts would drop out

10. WHAT WOULD YOU DO TO THE CLUB TO IMPROVE IT?
The pitch is in a bad condition. It was fine before this season, but games such as the Chesham match shouldn't have been called off.

11. DO YOU FOLLOW A FOOTBALL LEAGUE CLUB IF SO WHO?
Arsenal

12. WHAT OTHER QUESTION WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE ON THIS QUESTIONAIRE?
Which non-league player would you buy to improve the team.

13. WHY DO YOU SUPPORT A NON-LEAGUE CLUB LIKE DAGENHAM & REDBRIDGE F.C?
The players talk to the fans a lot more as they can relate to them as they also have other jobs and lives, just as the fans do. Good atmosphere. Terracing at both ends at most grounds. You are allowed to walk round at half time at most grounds. Price of tickets/merchandise

14. FAVOURITE MATCH BEEN TO NOT INVOLVING THE DAGGERS?
Arsenal 2 Newcastle 0 FA Cup final 1998

15. FAVOURITE NON & FOOTBALL LEAGUE GROUND VISITED EXCLUDING WEMBLEY?
Non league- Aldershot for its capacity, obvious football league construction. Crap turnstiles are a down point. League - Peterborough. A good size and atmosphere. Neat and tidy apart from crap food. (and tea, Ed)
