Watching David Beckham score that famous goal against Greece in the 93rd minute.....I love him!

What is your personal greatest sporting achievement?
There’s only been one! I finally managed to run a 5k in the summer of 2008 and in a great time - I still can’t believe I even got off the sofa! Next a 10k in June finally.....

If you get any free time, how do you like to use it?
Reading, playing Tomb Raider on my xbox, walking, spending time with my friends, eating and drinking lots and going to the gym (obviously in that order!).
