“I GET to the ground about three hours before kick off.

“I love selling the tickets and having a laugh and joke with the fans. I always do something daft like a little dance for them.

“I don’t mind if they think I am daft, I just like putting a smile on people’s faces.

“The club is like your family. When I was suffering with cancer, I was in hospital for treatment when we had a big game here with the All Golds.

“The club arranged for all the players to sign a card to send me.

“That it what the club is like. If there is anyone who watches games on TV or wonders what it is like, they should come down and have a chat with us.

“It is a great place.”
