Forum name? Benjo
Age? 16
Location? Canning Vale, Western australi. 25 minutes south of Perth City.
How did you choose your forum name? It was a nickname some mates gave me in Year 6. When I had to choose my forum name that was the first thing that came to mind.
TWG Refugee or 442 Citizen? 442 Senior Citizen. Been here since 07, only started posting a year later though.
Jersey Number and why? I’ve always loved 10 growing up, being a Michael Owen fan boy and all. But since I play defense now, and the fact the strikers always get first pick of the numbers, I’ve grown accustomed to either 12 or 13. 12 because I really like it. 13 because Steve Nash wears it.
Occupation? High School Student
What’s your postage like? forum and post?
Post- I rarely use the post, only go to the post office to buy stamps for my mum’s Christmas card’s.
Forum- I go through phases where I post about ten, eleven times a day, but the rest of the time I usually make about four or five comments a day. Used to comment in AF a fair bit, but now I normally just post in Extra Time and occasionally in WF.
At what point did you realize you weren't going to make it as a professional footballer? Can you tell us a little about your amateur football career or any other sporting career? I was about 12 and playing football. I wasn’t the most technically gifted players in our team and we were the bottom team in the top division for our age. I realized that I was nowhere near the top tier of players in my own age group in my own state. I’m still playing now, but more for the fun of it than anything. I still take it seriously.
Where are the burgers better?
Subway or Nando’s. Love both equally. If I had to choose, probably Subway because I eat it more often.
Tasty Beverage?
Nothing beats a classic Coca-Cola. Alternatively, I have a weakness for Dare Iced Coffee and Cafecino Ice coffee.
FM, FIFA oPES?
FIFA just gets the nod over FM on account of the fact I haven’t played any of the recent FM’s. However, I will say that FIFA is nowhere as addictive as FM.
Who do you go to the football with?
My dad and my brother.
Blackburn:
Favourite Blackbrn player of all time?
Alan Shearer, Brad Friedel and Damien Duff
Currently?
Brett Emerton and David Dunn
Greatest Blackburn game?
The 2-1 over Man United at Old Trafford in 2006 was a good one, as was the 1-0 over Newcastle in 95 that helped us clinch the title in the end. But my favorite was the Worthington Cup in 2002, a 2-1 win in the final over Spurs.
Favourite Blackburn memory?
Was only four, five months old when it happened so I don’t remember it, but I’ve seen videos of the aftermath of the 94-95 season. Still gives me pride we’ve won more Premier League titles than Liverpool :P From my memories I can remember, seeing us win the ol’ Worthington Cup in 02 was pretty great.
Worst Blackburn memory?
Paul Ince’s managerial career with us and getting relegated in 1999.
Funniest Blackburn memory?
This

Favourite Blackburn goal?
Who else but Tugay?
[youtube]fSRJEQDaEL8[/youtube]
and the aforementioned Friedel goal . Who cares if we lost, still awesome.
The Away Game?
Nay. Would love to travel around England to see them play though.
Active Support or the silent tactical analyst?
Little from column a, little from column b.
UK or European Terrace Culture?
UK by far.
Favourite Chant?
“Steve Gerrard, Gerrard. Kisses the badge on his chest, then puts in a transfer request. Steve Gerrard, Gerrard.”
Which team in the A-league do you have more of a liking too?
Perth Glory. Hometown team and my second favorite after Blackburn.
What is your view on the finals series system?
Would prefer it if the 3rd vs 6th and 4th vs 5th ties were two-legged. Apart from that, I think it’s good
Where do you see the a-league in 5 years time?
I think the FFA will expand again, not sure where though. I can see the Youth League gaining in stature. I think we’ll start to see some good A-league standard players who are products of the youth setup at their respective clubs.
What would you do to entice more big names to the A-league?
Hold a gun to their knees and tell them “this is the way its gonna be, comprende”?
What is your summary on the A-league season?
Good quality bar Perth. Brisbane have dismantled pretty much every team in their site and it’s great to see a stylish team like that winning.
Other:
Favourite football player of all time?
Michael Owen. T’was France 1998 and I lived in Kent, England. I was three at the time and went to bed early during the England-Argentina match.I remember being woken up by my dad running around the house like a lunatic after Owen scored THAT goal. After that, I adopted him as my favorite. Stuck by him ever since.
Favourite non Aussie player?
See above.
Favourite Aussie Player?
Brett Emerton.
Favourite other clubs?
Atletico Madrid and Werder Bremen
The club you hate but secretly admire?
Arsenal
Club or Country?
Both have their merits. I’d probably prefer for Australia to win the World Cup than Rovers to win the EPL though.
Other hobbies/sports/interests?
Pretty much any sport. Gridiron, tennis, basketball, AFL, union, athletics and cricket are among my favorites. I also enjoy reading, play station, listening to music, long walks on the beach at sunset, drinking pina coladas and getting caught in the rain.
Favourite non football sports star/s?
Steve Nash or Tom Brady
Ideal Woman
Blonde hair (Ginger’s are also more than acceptable), smooth legs and doesn’t have to have large breasts (but they are welcomed). Has to be nice, have at least a passing interest in sport, like good music, interesting personality, have a great (and sick) sense of humour and just be fun to be around.
Where would you take a woman on a first date?
Fancy Restaurant, but not so fancy that she thinks I’m rich. Followed by a movie of her choice and then hopefully a trip back to my place.
If you could be anybody else for a day, who would you be?
Barney Stinson. Who doesn’t want to wear a suit all day and get laid at the end of it?
Who would you turn gay for?
Dave Grohl. The guy’s a legend.
Forumers Q’s
Why Blackburn?
I used to live in England when I was younger. My nana came over from Australia and went to the markets. She brought me a full Blackburn kit. My dad, a hardcore Wolves fan, was mortified at this, but I loved the kit and wouldn’t stop wearing it. And I’ve stuck with them ever since.
Opinion on Nikola Kalinic?
Does one goal every six games sound like a good record for a striker? Shows potential, but that’s about all he shows.
Opinion on Ryan Nelsen?
He’s a fantastic captain who gives 110% to the cause all the time. Will be missed when he retires.
Would you support a Perth NRL franchise?
Why not?
West Coast Eagles or Fremantle Dockers?
Blue and Gold all the way. Anchors are wankers tbh. Love my Eagles, even though times have been tough of recent.
Who should be next manager of Blackburn?
Someone good whose free at the moment.
Who will be next manager of Blackburn?
Steve Kean, knowing our owners.
Explain at length the whole formal fiasco
I was going to ask one of three girls. Girl J, who I like, told me she was going to ask her best guy friend. I asked Girl A and she told me she didn’t really want a partner and so told me I should ask girl R. Girl R told me she didn’t want to take anyone from out of school and didn’t have a date yet. So when I asked her the next day, what does she say? “Oh sorry, I have a thing going with this guy out of school”.
I then tried to ask Girl A, because all her friends had dates and she felt left out. I asked her once and she said maybe and didn’t give me a proper answer. Because at this point there was no-one left, I decided to wait and hope she finally said yes. Her friends were being dicks as well, so I was hoping this worked in my favour. In the end, I finally asked her…and she told me she had someone. In hindsight, I should’ve gone after someone else, but I was too much of an idiot. Anyway, I got angry at this person keeping me on the hook all this time (although admittedly it was my fault). We eventually made up and she suggestesd her friend who came to our school in year seven. I hadn’t really talked to this girl in year seven, but I remember she was babe. Anyway, asked her, she said yes and so I went with her. We both had an aesome time, got some great pics. Plus she’s waaaaaaaaaaaay hotter than me, so instant respect. Shame she couldn’t come to afters.

What was your most embarrasing moment?
When my friends told everybody, including the girl, who I liked back in Year 10. And then proceeded to give me shit for the rest of the term about it, and laughed when she eventually rejected me.

Do you think Kiwichick would abandon you for a sheep?
Yeah, I’m not exactly the best of looking guys.
Is it unfair that kiwis are linked with shagging sheep all the time?
No. Why? Because they always beat us in the rugby.
