William raises the cup

Hello, my name is William.

I love to play football. I am a striker and like to score lots of goals. I go to football training sessions and also play with my friends and my Dad.

This is me with my runners-up trophy after a local schools football tournament.

I train 3 to 4 times a week with Portsmouth FC Advanced Training Centre (ATC), Portsmouth Football in the Community, my school's football club, and Liphook United FC Under 8s.

I also practise a lot on my own to improve my skills.
(Mum and Dad are not happy about the lack of grass in the back garden!)

I play matches for my school team, for Liphook United FC Under 8s, and also for Liphook Downlands Cubs.

This is me in action for Liphook Downlands Cubs in a Cubs six-a-side tournament against Petersfield Blue. I scored 3 goals in this match and we won 4-0.


This is our Liphook United FC Under 8s squad with our manager Jeremy Sharman. We play mini-soccer 'friendlies' against other teams in the North East Hampshire Youth League under 8 Yellow Division. Dad is our coach and David McCusker is our administrator.

This is me taking a free kick for Liphook United FC Under 8s against Ludwig Leisure from Basingstoke.   GOAL!     We won 7-1.


This is me 'letting off steam' after another successful football match: Liphook United Under 8s vs Yateley Juniors. I scored 3 goals and we won 6-0.

Alexander, Dad and I went to Wembley Stadium and we had a tour behind the scenes. It was really good!

This is me holding the FA Cup in the Royal 'Box' where the Queen sits.

You can see more Wembley photos in 'My gallery'.

I'm also a STAR WARS fan, but not as much as Alexander.

I haven't had any battles with Darth Vader, but I did have a 'green screen' battle at the STAR WARS exhibition in London. I like Darth Maul from Episode I - The Phantom Menace.

This is me as Darth Maul.

Last year, I moved on from Liphook Beavers Willow colony to Liphook Cubs Downlands pack. I'm looking forward to going to Cub camp this year with my brother.

This is me feeding the dolphins at SeaWorld, Florida.

If you are interested, I have a lot more pictures in 'My gallery'.
