If you like reading the words of a true football fan without all the acid-tongued vitriol of a blinkered, deluded ultra, Al is most certainly the man you should seek out. Not only that, but if you live in South London, he's exactly the sort of man to talk football with over a satisfying pint or two. A free tip that you'll thank us later for.

Biggest thrill while working on your web project(s):
Very little negative feedback. Or threats.
Biggest disappointment while working on your web project(s):
It's always disappointing when you submit something and it isn't used. I'm saving those all up for a future best-selling publication.
Best countries visited:
Poland, Czech RepublicFavourite food:
Pie and mash
Miscelleaneous likes:
Scooters. Clobber. Trainers. Real ale. Classic novels. Looking sharp whilst riding my scooter to a quiet boozer for a pint of Young's and a chapter of a book sounds like a plan.
Miscellaneous dislikes:
American sitcoms. Gastro Pubs. Badly dressed men. Trendy 'berry' ciders served over ice. Coconut.
Favourite TV shows:
Minder, Peaky Blinders, Knowing Me Knowing You.
Favourite actors/actresses:
Richard E Grant in Withnail & I, Ben Kingsley in Sexy Beast, Michael Caine in Alfie. Not necessarily in that order.
Favourite musicians:
The Wedding Present, The Clash, The Style Council, old Jamaican Ska and some Northern Soul.
Trying to make a club specific blog different every week due to such a high standard of competition.
Personal ambition:
To one day write for a living. That, however, is unlikely so perhaps I'll aim for robbing a bank and retiring to a place in the sun on the takings.
If not in your current career, which job would you do?
Anything that involved wearing a well-cut whistle.
Which person in the world would you most like to meet?
If I had to host that food show where you have folks round to dinner I'd invite John Lydon, George Cole, Helena Bonham Carter, and Alan Partridge.
Favourite activity on a day off:
Going to a football match. If it wasn't, I'd think you'd got the wrong man for this.
