We are back again with another get to know.

like they were once in Blazin squad
- Carse

This time it's the turn of much loved central defender Paul Carson Carse has been a member of The Vics squad for a few years now but what do you know about him, we'll lets find out...

Name:
Paul ‘Again.’ Carson
Age: Old (38)
Position: Centre Back
Previous Clubs: Cirencester Academy/Town, Wootton Bassett, Purton, Shrivenham

You and football.
Who do you support?
Chelsea

Do you have any superstitions before a game?

Absolutely, but it’s quite a long list!!! Main ones are sitting in the same place in the changing room for home games, being last out of the changing room before kick-off and doing five “air” headers before the game kicks off.

Pre match meal? Rice/Pasta with Chicken/Meat and sauce, including an energy drink and espresso to wash it down!

Best moment of your career? Winning the Hellenic League back in 2004-5 (shows how old I am).

Worst Moment of your career? Being injured, as I hate missing games and want to play every possible minute. Luckily for me I haven’t been too bad with injuries (although Mrs C will say otherwise as I have an injury of some kind on a weekly basis now), with the worst being a double hernia causing me to be out for 4 months.

The Vics
Most talented?
I’m going with Jack Hobson-Mcveigh – baller that boy!

Best trainer?
Lewis Morrisey based on pre-season – never misses training and always works hard in every session.

Worst Trainer? Aggie Hext – if he’s had enough towards the end of the session he just walks off, and also has been known to sack training off to have a nap in the bar!

Best Moment at the vics?
Winning the Hellenic Div 1 cup in 2018.

Worst Music taste? No idea as Browner does the play list and to be fair it’s alright.

Best dressed? We all have tracksuits now, so we don’t really get to see the lads dress sense. But I’m going to say my fellow centre-back Zac Costello – turned up to the midweek game from work the other week looking very suave! Although Browner and his parker coat are a close second ☺

Worst Dressed? The young lads (Ash, Lewis, Ben) have worn some criminal clobber (like they were once in Blazin squad) to games before they were given tracksuits. So has to be one of them.

About Paul away from football.
What’s your job? IT & Business Enterprise Architect

Other Hobbies?
Cycling, Basketball and generally spending time at home with the family (aka Mrs C and our two boys).

Tea or Coffee? Coffee all day long!

Favorite Alcoholic drink? Depends on my mood really ☺ Varies from a glass or red, Gin, or Espresso Martini to feed the caffeine addiction.

Favorite Meal? Mrs C’s Chilli-con-carne – can’t beat it!

All Time Favorite Song? This is a difficult one being my music playlist is a bit of mixed bag. I’m going with an 80s classic in Chaka Khan – feel for you (showing my age here!)
