COVENTRY UNITED PLAYER PROFILES: 18. CALLUM BURGESS...

CALLUM BURGESS: CENTRAL-DEFENDER, RIGHT-BACK, FOREMAN, MENTOR, PROCRASTINATOR…


Following a long career and 79 teams, Callum, second left, is unsure who these other people are...

Any nicknames?
Callum…

Previous teams? 
Lots!

Pro-team supported? 
Manchester United…

Favourite all-time player?
In my position: Jaap Stam.
To watch: Messi…

Favourite current player?
Richard Morris…

Mozza, The Amazing Dancing Bear...


Favourite bird: 
Blue Tit…

An animal you would like as a pet?
Lion…

Best sporting moment so far?
Playing full-time soccer at Coventry City… 

Worst moments in sporting career so far?
Injuries! 
No more, touch wood!

Callum avoids looking at someone else's injury...


Any gossip to tell us?
N/A…

THE MOWDOG COMMENTS…

Nicknamed Callum? 
Give me a break…
Surely ‘The Procrastinator’? He was, after all, the last player to get his arse sorted and send in his profile…

Teams played for apparently include:
Coventry City, Tamworth, Brackley Town, Rugby Town, Hinckley United, Banbury United, Bedworth United, Daventry Town and Stratford Town…
(No wonder Callum didn’t list them on his profile, for at his age, the memory needs a little jostling…)

Supports Manure United… Hmm…

Jaap Stam and Messi: some football ability there…

But Rich Morris? OK, there’s a joke here somewhere…
Has Callum baited the bear before now?

Favourite bird is a Blue Tit… Again, there’s a darker side to Callum’s choice, surely? At least he could have gone for boobys…


Callum considers the boobys...


Lion? 
No surprise.
I’ve seen and heard Callum growl at errors made by defending midfielders…
Nickname possibility, therefore: ‘Lenny’…

Full-time at Coventry City… Hmm, something to keep quiet about; VERY quiet… 
But at least it wasn’t at Small Heath St Andrews…

Injuries are hell… 
Stay fit, Callum, this defence needs you.
And that is a Mowdog compliment.
How rare…

Gossip? Well, is it true that Callum is related to John Hendrie, who is in fact related to Lee Hendrie, to whom I chatted when he was playing for Basford last season and I had desperately defended against angry Villa fans for so many years?

However, Callum, I’m not actually related either to Tommie Maguire or Muzzy Nduna, although my hair would’ve looked SO much better if I HAD been related to Muzzy… 

Such a professional attitude...



Cheers, Lenny…
