If you were given £1,000,000 what would you do with it?

I would buy a big villa next to the beach in L.A and buy a football pitch to host a tournament with all the great teams including the Kings! Then I’d buy myself a Nissan Skyline and cruise round the world.

What is the thing you like most about Kings AFC?

The things I like most are the nice red shorts! But seriously I just love the way we all play football on the pitch and how we’ve got a good strong team.

What are your plans regarding football for this year?

To carry on playing for Kings, always improving my game and keeping that starting position and then hopefully getting spotted by a scout and go on to play in the premiership!

If you could play for any football club who would it be and why?

It would be Liverpool because I’ve always been a fan plus I’d love to play in the same team as the best player in the world Steven Gerrard

Where would you most like to go on holiday?

I would love to go L.A

Do you have any life ambitions?

My life ambition is to become a footballer - start off in a small club then work my way up to the bigger teams, if not that I’m going to go college do a business course and become the worlds greatest business man and make millions

If you had to be either a really clever monkey or a really stupid human, which would you be?

Well I’d be a clever monkey because I’ve never been clever so the other choice is like me anyway plus I’d be really famous and star in great films. Some monkeys also live like their in heaven.

What animal do you think you are most like?

I think I am most like a unicorn because I’ve got magical powers and between me and you guys I can fly.

If you could change the world in anyway what would you do?

If I could change the world I would stop the wars going on and make everyone live in paradise

Can you name all the seven dwarfs from snow white?

Sleepy, Bashful, Grumpy (Lee Morgan), Dopey, Sneezy, Happy and Doc - I think that’s them don’t ask how I know though

How do you feel you have settled into your new club?

I’ve settled in well; I’ve got to know everyone, I can play great football with the team and have a good laugh with the lads when we all go out. I really enjoy playing with this team and will do for as long as I can.

How do you think the Kings will do this season? (League and cup)

Kings can go far in the cup I feel that we can make at least the semis and we can win this league providing we stop the poor performances against teams we can beat and never drop our heads.

Manager’s comments:

Congratulations to Marcus on winning a much deserved first ever Kings AFC player of the month award. Some superb performances, no matter where you have played mate. Left wing, right wing or upfront. Nickname Tomlin?! We are going to have to sort that out as its far too dull. I’ll get Mickey Quinn and Rudolf on the case. I must be getting old as I’ve never even heard of that song you mentioned, its nice to have some youthful lads in the squad though!

One final comment – where was the mention of that ghastly miss when you had an open goal?!
