How long you've been with the Eagles? Since I arrived in Australia from the UK in 2016
What do you like the most about the Eagles? Apart from seeing all the smiles, it would have to be the fact that everyone always does their best.
Favourite club? Liverpool FC - I lived in the city the same year they won the Champions League in 2004/05
Favourite player? Zinedine Zidane, the most elegant of footballers and single-handedly beat Brazil in 2006.
Favourite pre/post match food? I like to stick around at the clubhouse for a good old bacon & egg sandwich while chatting to some of the players, parents and coaches about how much fun the session was.

How long you've been with the Eagles? Started 2012.. so this will be my 8th season (feeling old!)
What do you like the most about the Eagles? The level of enthusiasm brought by each player every Saturday morning :)
Favourite club? Manchester United - I used to wear number 11 when playing for Richmond Soccer Club, trying my best to replicate Ryan Giggs running down the wing.
Favorite player? Ryan Giggs (if you couldn't tell from my previous answer!). However, current team, I'm a big supporter of Paul Pogba.
Favourite pre/post match food? I typically head out for brunch with a group of friends after the Junior Eagles session is finished. Unfortunately for my friends, they can't get a word in as I won't stop talking about all the wonderful players we have in the Junior Eagles team!

How long you've been with the Eagles?
This is my first full season with the Eagles in 2021, but I was occasionally involved in 2019.
What do you like the most about the Eagles?
Always happy to see them enjoying the drills while also being so cooperative. I also like the parents for being so kind and supportive.
Favourite club?
Real Madrid - Been following them for 11 years now. Luckily I went to Bernabeu last February to watch them play while football was still normal :)
Favourite player?
Sergio Ramos - The charismatic leader and the GOAT. Helped us win the most awaited La Decima. Also, I played as centre back in my school team for 4 years. Team Ronaldo as well!
Favourite pre/post match food?
After the session, I usually head to the club canteen to get a sausage and Portuguese tart & watch some home games.
