Q&AWITH CALLUM BENNETT This week we speak to the club’s joint Vice Captain, Callum Bennett. He talks us through his stunning strike in the last round of the cup and tells us how the Goldstar crowd can make all the difference in the next round.....

You scored your second goal of the season in the last round of the cup against Westfield, and what a goal it was too, talk us through it... Crumpy always says to me, I come alive in the opposition’s half and I guess this was a great example of that. The way the game shaped up I really wanted a goal, you won’t get many better opportunities to bomb on as a defender than when you’re playing against 10 men and 4-0 up! I got the ball wide on the right one v one with the defender and only had one thought in my mind, luckily I managed to take him on and their defenders let me shoot!

You’ve played for clubs such as Ipswich Town, Stoke City and Notts County before joining the Seasiders - who is the best player you’ve come up against? This is always a tricky one for me because the immediate name that springs to mind is always Harry Kane if you look at the player he is now. However, he wasn’t very good on the day and we beat Tottenham! If we are talking best on the day that gave me horrid time it would have to be either Lukaku for Chelsea Reserves or Junior Hoilett for QPR Reserves.

You’re an attacking right back and can put in a mean delivery/set piece with that right foot of yours, who are your biggest influences in football and what player would you most like to be compared to? I’m a Liverpool fan and loved Gerrard/Owen growing up so you couldn’t go wrong with either of them... From a positional sense when I was at Ipswich The Seasiders are unbeaten at home in Academy Dani Alves was starting the all competitions following three wins transition to the ‘modern day’ full back as and a draw, how much of a difference they’re now known, the coaches suddenly does it make to the team playing in all started wanting to play like Barcelona front of the Goldstar crowd? and from that I was allowed more license Playing at home makes a massive difference to get forward and create chances, so he in my opinion, one of the opposition players would be a close third I reckon. from Hullbridge said to me “it must be enjoyable playing in front of this many fans You’ve made approaching 200 every week” and he was spot on. The appearances for the Seasiders in your support that we get is amazing, the fans two spells at the club, what has been have stuck with us through some tough your highlight? times last season and I hope we can repay I think a lot of the boys that have been them for that support this season. here for a number of years will struggle to remember a better feeling than when we We’ve made a strong start to the knocked Bishops Stortford out of the FA 2020/21 campaign so far, what are your Cup as a Step 5 side. We got a late free thoughts on the current squad and kick and I knew as soon as it left my foot season ahead? that the delivery was good, all I can The Met Police are going to prove I think the squad is arguably the strongest remember after that was Hilly sprinting tough opposition in today’s game, how that Felixstowe have ever had, as you towards me celebrating. do you rate our chances of progressing mentioned we have had a good start to the to the next round of the cup? season with players missing. Noel, Logga, During my time at Bury we played against Clarkey and Ainso (suspension) all missed “The support that we Met Police on a number of occasions and the opening weeks, as well as Curt, Denz get is amazing, the I don’t remember coming out on top on and Henners who still haven’t played a fans have stuck with us many of them! I think everyone knows it major part in our season so that in itself will be a tough game, but an enjoyable shows how strong the squad is. The new through some tough times one for us as players to test ourselves and boys have settled in well and I think there last season and I hope we the fans as well. I honestly believe the are signs that we are starting to implement mentality within the squad this year is that the style of play that Boards and Crumpy can repay them for that we can beat anyone and in a two horse want which is enjoyable so I’m feel very support this season.” race its always 50/50! optimistic about the season ahead.

We have cut out silly mistakes that in the past left us with uphill battles, that means like today, you give yourselves a good chance to be rewarded with late goals and to come the first period but they did have the ball in the on strong late in the game net before half time following a smart finish with confidence.
