First football hero?
I think it has to be Cristiano Ronaldo. When I started watching more football live on TV when I was eight, nine and ten years old, you would always watch Ronaldo and also the likes of Thierry Henry.
First game you watched live as a supporter?
My Dad got me tickets to a Chelsea game against Blackburn Rovers in 2004, I think. Chelsea won 4-0 on Arjen Robben’s debut, and Eiður Guðjohnsen scored a 14-minute hat-trick. That’s the moment that I really fell in love with football.
First football boots?
I’m not sure exactly which ones they were, but they were definitely Adidas.
First kit?
I think it was the Chelsea third kit from 2004/05.
First mentor in football?
My Dad. He’s helped me so much throughout my career to help me get where I am today. I remember always going to the local park with him when I was young, and he would always give me advice. He was definitely my first major influence in football.
First professional game?
I made my professional debut for Maidenhead United against Maidstone United in the National League. I wasn’t meant to start and was a back-up defender, but one of the left-backs got injured, and I ended up starting.
It was a big jump for me as I had just been on loan at Marlow in the eighth tier. We drew 1-1 in the end, so it was a decent result, and I played quite well.
I made my Premier League debut for Wolverhampton Wanderers against Fulham in May 2019 after coming on as a late substitute in a 1-0 win at Molineux.
First professional goal?
I think it was against Dover Athletic in April in 2018. It was a 94th-minute winner that secured Maidenhead a spot in the National League for the 2018/19 season. We ended up finishing 12th.
First red card?
I’ve never had a red card in my career, and let’s hope it stays that way!
