Question Time with Ryan Plowright
Age 30
Favourite playing position and shirt number
Midfield and has to be number 4 because of Patrick Vieira – what a player!
Where are you from?
Harpenden lad, went to Roundwood Park, a stone’s throw from the ground
Previous clubs
MK Dons, Cambridge United, Hemel Hempstead Town, Kings Langley, St Neots, Banbury, Dunstable Town, Leighton Town
Harpenden Town debut
Which time? I’ve had a debut twice but wouldn’t have a clue who against – too long ago!
What did you sing for your initiation at Harpenden Town?
Plan B – Charmaine
What’s your earliest football memory?
Playing for Harpenden Colts
First match you went to
It was at Highbury. What a ground!
First football shirt you owned
Arsenal shirt with Robert Pires on the back! I would run off doing his trademark finger-wag celebration
Who do you support now?
You can probably guess by now – Arsenal
What’s the biggest match you’ve played in?
There’s a few cup finals I could choose from but playing at Villa Park with over 15,000 fans has to be up there
You’re hosting a dinner party, which four guests would you invite?
Probably a few of my mates – wouldn’t bother me having anyone famous
And what would you cook (or order in)?
I cook a decent spag bol
What’s the best thing about Harpenden?
The lads – and being able to get to the pub quickly for the late kick-off on TV is a plus
What do you do for a living?
Site manager
What are the best and worst things about step five football?
The pitches are best and worst. It’s a double-edged sword. Who doesn’t love a wet, muddy pitch but we seem to barely have games through some months due to cancellations
Favourite ground you’ve played at
Too many to choose from, all for different reasons
Best game you’ve ever attended
Not the best result but Barcelona away to watch Arsenal. Lost 3-1 but what a day and night!
Who do you travel to away games with?
Normally alone or with my old man in the car chewing my ear off about something!
You’re travelling to an away game and you’re in charge of the music. What’s on the playlist?
Bit of techno. Let’s just say it divides opinions
Which of your teammates have the best and worse dress sense?
I’d say JC for best dressed, the fella could wear his Nan’s curtains and still pull it off. Worst dressed – the jury is still out on this one
After football, what other sport are you best at?
Cricket. I’ve got that reverse sweep on lock
What’s your personal goal for the 2023-24 season?
Playing more than two games in a row without getting injured would be nice
