Meet The Squad - Chris Wallbank

Name: Chris Wallbank 
Nickname: Animal
Squad No: 23
Special Power: Not scoring goals and trying to take people out

1. Since joining Newbury Forest how have you found it?
It has been an amazing experience. With Newbury being my first real club I have found out what I have been missing all these years! Not only on the pitch, but off it. The social gathering of the Newbury family in a restaurant or club is a sight to behold.

2. Other than Ellie, whose your favourite player at Newbury Forest, and why?
Hmmm... Like Andy, I couldn't possibly answer. Newbury Forest is a family, and like a member of a family you cannot have favourites.

3. What would it take for you to cut your hair, for example if you score your first goal for the club will you get a skin head?
Yeah, maybe scoring may warrant the cutting of my hair. But noooooooo way is it going to be a skin head!!!

4. If Newbury Forest went abroad on a flight and the plane crashed in the Andes Mountains, who do you think would crack first and try to eat someone, and who do you think they would eat?
This ones easy! Starling would be the obvious choice to start the cannibalism. He would need to choose someone that has had their fair share of meals too, so I reckon he'll eat Lil Jon. Although I could see it going the other way round with the Pol munching on the Welsh one.

5. Not including yourself who do you think is the best catch for a women out of the whole senior squad, and why?
Ermm probably Jey. Who can resist those legs!? Nah, I reckon Tommy Starling. He's a good looking chap and I definitely would!!

6. What's been your worst moment this year playing for Newbury?
I have to say there haven’t really been 'worst' moments. There have been a few disappointing ones though. Especially the cup final, it was an unlucky result, but we just need to right that wrong with winning the league!

7. If you could choose any player in the team, who you would most like to play like and why?
Ermm there’s such a vast difference of players in our team. In some ways I wish I played like Jey. Being able to simply breeze past players like they weren’t their, and of course that sweeeeeet left foot. I also admire the no nonsense playing style of nick, being able to make those last ditch challenges. Also being able to do the matrix turn like GIBBO is also something I’d like to have in my locker.

8. If Ellie was to ever come to her sense's and get rid of you, who do you think she would probably go for if any, out of the team?
Come on lets get serious, she’s not getting rid of me!

9. Do you think you are a better midfield player or right back?
Well, after playing right back for over a season I have come to see why Hassan has put me there. I have actually begun to enjoy it! Plus, every time I go in midfield I run around like a headless chicken.

10. Your nickname is the animal, who would you most like to play against and crunch if you got the chance?
It would obviously have to be Christiano Ronaldo. I would love to two foot him aiming straight at his knees. Bet that would stop him doing step overs every time he gets the ball. (By the way, I know I am Man Utd fan!)

Stay tuned to see who the next player is put under the microscope!
