This week, we catch up with the man who looks after our matchday mascots and is one half of our fantastic merchandising team. We spoke to Karl Walls.

Hey Karl, Thanks for taking the time to answer these few questions about yourself and your role at the club.

Nickname
I don't have one

Briefly explain your role at the club
I help with sorting out and the running of mascot days and help sell merchandise.

How long have you been at the club?
Two years

Your history in football
Well, I took Southend United from non league to winning the Premier league over a five year spell...... wait that was football manager!!!!

I really don't have a history in football as I'm terrible at it!!!

I've coached a girls team at Priory Celtic for the last seven years. That's about the most of my history.

Club supported
Nottingham Forest.

It was the first game I went to live and fell in love with it even though it was a 0-0 against QPR. Being at Wembley when we got promoted was something I'll never forget.

Hobbies and interests
Supporting KMW and Walking.

Favourite food
Fry up! I could eat it every day.

Favourite drink
Cruzcampo

Favourite film
The Avengers saga

Favourite TV show
Top gear.

Favourite sport outside of football
F1

Sporting hero
The referee Jonathan Moss. For the two penalties he missed at Wembley!!

Five dream party guests.
"Lee Evans- The man is so funny.

Bandon Flowers- The man can sing.

Lewis Hamilton- The man can drive.

Chris Moyles- The man can do radio.

Roberto Osborn- The man invented Cruzcampo."

It has to be said that Karl has been very modest in what he does for the club. He is our main contact for all of the mascots who come to our matches from Priory Celtic. He and Damian Westley form such a fantastic partnership in merchandising for the club. He also helps out in posting match info to our social media platform and has even sponsored one of our matches. Karl really is a man of the club and we would be a lot worse off without him.

Thanks Karl
