View from the opposition – PNE 26 September 2009:
A bit about you:
Name: Geoff Ollerton
Current home town: Preston
Birthplace: Preston
How long have you supported your team? 40 odd years
Overview of your club:
Favourite thing about your home ground: the redevelopment is almost done!
Favourite match played by your team & why: I think in recent times that that has to be the play off semi final of 2001 when we beat Birmingham in a penalty shoot out and their manager Trevor Francis cried like a baby over which end of the pitch we should use for the penalties, that was class.….
Favourite player of all time who played for your club: Mike Elwiss / Alex Bruce (not the guy that played for Brum) Most famous player was Sir Tom Finney
About our forthcoming match against you:
Your favourite current player in your squad and why? Don’t have one they’re all as bad as one another, joking of course I like the new guy though if I could only spell and pronounce his name. Veliche Shumulikoski that’s him.
Player in your squad we should most fear and why? New signings Paul Parry and
Veliche Shumulikoski have both started really well here.
Player in our squad you most fear and why? I’m sorry but I don’t really know any of them.
Up and coming prospect in your squad? Sean St Ledger, Neal Trotman (now out on loan at Southampton), Eddie Nolan.
Goalkeeper Andrew Lonergan can’t really be classed as ‘up and coming’ anymore but he’s still very young for a ‘keeper. You’ll probably remember him from the goal he scored at your place a year or two back.
Where do you think you’ll finish this season? In the top ten
How do you think you’ll do against us? The double – lol I always say that.
Any other comments?
Hope we see two good games between us this season it’s good to have you guys back in the Championship.
