We caught up with birthday boy and this seasons top scorer Brad Martin to learn more about the former Longlevens FC front man.

So Brad thanks for taking the time out to catch up with us and to allow the Mitres fans to get to know you a little better. You've certainly had an impact thus far on the season so lets get right on with the questions and what made you join the mitres? Thats a simple answer Sooty (manager Steve Cleal) got in touch and his passion for this club is like nothing I’ve ever seen before so that made me want to join.

Well we are glad you have and i'm sure you will be hoping to continue the form that has seen your score is it 14 goals so far this season. Right lets find out about Brad, these questions will be telling us a bit about you so here goes.

First of all what team do you support and why? Manchester United, my brothers all followed them so it just made sense at the time. well that makes sense and we wont hold it against you!
whats your earliest memory of football? It’s a bad one for English football fans, Ronaldinho’s free kick against us in 2002 not a bad goal to be fair (if he meant it) but certainly is a bad one for English Football. Although we seem in much better shape now!!

Ok away from the Footie fave film? Taken
fave tv programme? Silent Witness
fave music? RnB some interesting choices there and im sure the gaffer will be pleased with the RnB shout.

Now onto the fun stuff and the stuff the lads will be ribbed about or praise you for... so
who is the best trainer? Tunny, never misses a session and to counteract that one who is the worst trainer? Stats, that boy hates training Stats... really he always comes across as a model pro works hard all the time!!!!

People will love to win these ones? who is the quickest in the team? Ben Hailwood apparently, I haven’t seen him get out of second gear yet though so from what I’ve seen I’ll have to go with Elliot Kennedy
Who has the best Tekkers? Adam Mace, I don’t think anyone can disagree with that Mace has got a wand in that left foot of his!

So if Elliott is the quickest who is the slowest? Probably a tight one between me and Tunny, I’d hope I just had that extra yard though That extra yard is in your head Strikers instinct!!!

So who is the joker of the pack? I would say myself, but half the boys aren’t educated enough to realise when I’m joking I've heard you are a bit of a wind up merchant!! so who do you wind up the most who bites easiest? Elliot, I’m always in his head about something Is that you getting in his head as he's catching you up for top scorer!! haha!

Who is the longest in the shower? Lee Llewelyn, the lads will know why

You lads seem to be very social so who on a night out has the best clobber? Tris Haswell, not sure how he pulls some of it off The boy certainly wears some interesting gear! and the worst clobber goes to? Jack Watts, without a doubt

Finally for the lads and a bit of fun you're 2 on 1 with the goalie who is likely to miss? Newy, he’s get a nose bleed if he was that far up the pitch. well lets hope he can break his duck before the season is out!

Brad its been really great getting to know you and your take on the lads but before you go
What are your realistic aims for the season personally? 30 goals, will be disappointed if i don’t get there after the start I’ve had. well that's certainly achievable the form you have been in and for the team? Promotion, I think it’s the reason we all turn up every Saturday and pull on the shirt

That is what we like to hear tell us something new about you? My Dad passed away last January and I dedicate every goal to him, hence the reason you’ll see me point towards the sky when I score. we noticed that and that is amazing.
biggest idol (sports)? Lionel Messi, he is the best of all time in my eyes
the sportsperson who annoys you the most? Paul Merson, gets paid loads to be a pundit but some of the stuff he gets wrong is so basic, it’s a bit of an unrational annoyance if I’m honest

Finally (I promise I know your a busy man!) something for the fans? Putting a smile on your face, makes all the hard work worth it... please keep coming to support us and we’ll
try our best to make sure you’re smiling

Brad thanks for your time and best of luck the weekend when Fairford are at the lane
