Name
Robbie Graham
Age 26
Favourite other club apart from Långholmen Man United
Favourite player as a schoolboy and why: Andy Cole, I suppose because unlike Eric Cantona and Giggs and the like, he wasn’t perfect, but still brilliant.
Most memorable match in a Långholmen shirt so many but I’ll go for Viksjö at home in 2008. We won 3-2 and got our fight for survival on track.Biggest influence during your football career. Probably Nick Short, our former manager. I never really played football seriously before joining Långholmen and he taught me so much over the four years that we worked together.
I f you had the chance to go out for a couple of pints with anyone in the world who would it be and why: I would have a table of four. It would be me, Roy Keane, Stevie Wonder and Nelson Mandela. They are 3 people from different spheres of life that I inspire me and I’m sure that we could find a lot to talk about. Mostly women, I’d imagine.
Which position will Långholmen finish in the league this season. I think, realistically, we will be looking to get in the top 4 and take it from there. It will be a challenge but we have a strong talented squad that play for each other and want to progress so it will be a good challenge.
