What supporters’ groups are you affiliated to?
I am not affiliated to any supporters groups but I want everyone that visits Doncaster Rovers to have the best time possible and want to return time and time again.
Tell us about your background
I have a degree in music but unfortunately life has gotten in the way and that dream has been shelved. I now work in manufacturing, conducting training across the business for new starters and existing employees that require multiskilling.
To keep my creative side happy I create content for my YouTube channel, 18Dapper, which focuses on Doncaster Rovers.
How long have you supported Rovers?
I have supported the Rovers for as long as I can remember. My dad has told me that my first game was at 3 years old. Luckily I was too young to fully remember the poor Belle Vue days but I do fondly remember the latter years in that magnificent stadium and our rise up the leagues which I hope to see a return of in the future.
Who is your all-time favourite Rovers player?
I was a goalkeeper in my younger years so looked up to Andy Warrington and Neil Sullivan. Players I enjoyed watching for their raw talent were Michael McIndoe and James Coppinger.
Where do you sit at the Eco-Power Stadium?
The James Coppinger West Stand
How long have you been part of the Supporters/Shadow Board?
I have been a part of the Supporters/ Shadow Board for around a year now and I hope that I can be a point of contact for anyone wishing to raise any issues or concerns. If I cannot answer them initially I will always direct them to our chair or vice chair and endeavour to return an answer.
Why are you part of the Shadow Board?
Ultimately I am a Doncaster Rovers fan. I want to see the stadium full, I want a team we can be proud of, I want a club we can be proud of both on and off the pitch. With me not falling in to any particular category I feel I can represent a wide range of Doncaster Rovers fans.
I want to help deliver the best match day experience that fans want to return to. I want to be a positive influence on the people of Doncaster and make them proud of our club.
