6 THOMAS BoSS Q & A

How many seasons have you been at Onehunga Sports? Two seasons – this is my third.

How did you first get involved with Onehunga? Milney said he needed someone in the midfield to do all the running for him while he dived around so I decided to help him out.

What’s your best football memorIES? Winning the Chatham Cup in 2017 with Onehunga – was surrounded by all my mates so doesn’t get much better than that.

BEST GOAL YOU’VE EVER SCORED? Header against in the first game of the season last year. I think it’s the only time I’ve ever headed a ball.

IF YOU COULD play another position for a game, where would it be and why? Centre Back – apparently it’s the easiest position on the field to play.

BEST PLAYER YOU’VE PLAYED WITH OR AGAINST? Jonjo Shelvey

Dream 5-aside team, you and who else? George Best, Paul Gascoigne, Rene Higuita (aka “El Loco”) Paulo Di Canio.

What do you do outside of football? Work for Alaska Construction doing interior fit outs.

YOU CAN meet anyone in the world, who would it be and why? George Best – The guy would have some amazing yarns and definitely be able to show you a good night out.

Biggest influence on your career? The one and only Chris Boss – He’s infamous for loving a yarn about anything football and definitely a player favourite among the first team lads.
