Billy Neale: Hi Callum, first of all hope you are well. When and what was your first footballing memory?

BN: Who was the first club you played for?
CB: First club was Sherborne St. John, a team back in Basingstoke, spent 10 years there absolutely loved it.
BN: What was the first position you played when starting football?
CB: I always used to be a centre midfielder, I know you won’t believe me but I used to score goals for fun back then, I guess I used them all up, cause I don’t have a clue what it feels like to score anymore.
BN: What was the first pair of boots you owned?
CB: First football boots where black Umbros, not the best looking things in the world.
BN: What was the first football kit you had?
CB: The first kit I had was a yellow Leeds united strip back when they were sponsored by Strongbow still one of my favourite kits now.
BN: Who was your first football hero?
CB: My first hero was Lucas Radebe when he played for Leeds, he was unbelievable, gave his everything every game.
BN: You haven’t scored for Weymouth yet. When did you score your first goal in football?
CB: Thanks for reminding me! As I mentioned as a kid I used to score a fair few, I don’t remember my first ever goal but I do remember being deadly on a free kick.
BN: Thank you very much Callum and a great insight into your football firsts.
