About Me


Try the BEST MySpace Editor and MySpace Layouts at MySpace Toolbox ! Thought i'd mention this as it's part of being me......I've had parkinson's disease since the age of 8 and under went amazing brain surgery just over a year ago...rumour has it that after six hours the surgeons did find something- quite what i've no idea!! It's brought my footie career to an end as heading the ball is strictly a no no and my skydiving ambitions were never really allowed to take off.. although I can proudly say i have lept out of a plane at 10,000 feet, fun while it lasted ( about 30 seconds in all ...dont laugh it's true!! )
I've been very busy recently trying to raise awareness of Parkinsons Disease particularly amongst young people and through the Parkinsons Disease Society I have been lucky enough to appear in national newspapers,on regional tv, on websites and on national, regional and local radio. My thanks go to The Sun , Daily Mirror, BBC Radio Five Live ,BBC North West Tonight, BBC Radio Manchester, Silk FM and the Macclesfield Express.
Don't take life too seriously and like to laugh and have a few beers with my mates .
Love sport particularly soccer, boxing, rugby league and motorsort.
Fascinated by the oceans and their inhabitants- sharks are my fave.Why do we have to pump so much rubbish into it though like sewerage and oil, it really winds me up.-.
Love to travel and meet people, particularly fond of Southern Africa. Went on safari this summer to Botswana, Namibia and Zambia...quite simply the most amazing experience of my life!!!!
Give everyone an equal chance in life and it becomes full of surprises.
