Name: Mark Norris

Nickname: Nozza

Where you from? I was born in Allbrook in Hampshire. Which is now a district of Eastleigh just outside of Southampton

Your Strengthens? Being laidback. I have an ability to remain calm when everyone around me is in a panic

Your weaknesses? See above. I sometimes fail to notice when others may need help. Or poor grammatical skills as evidenced by these replies.

Hidden Talent? If I have any they are so hidden I have not noticed them yet. Pretty good player at Destiny2 on the PlayStation. Also, pretty good at IT which I hide.

Main sport(s) played growing up? Not sure how truthful I should be here. I played football for Fords Motor company as they had a heavily subsidies bar, Hockey for Hampshire U18s and ran the 400m for Southampton Athletics club. I then went to Uni and two people in my dorm were rugby players so I got involved by watching and drinking with them.

Favourite sports team? Wasps

Interesting fact about yourself? I attended an afternoon tea on HMS Britannia with the Queen or I managed to get a work colleague arrested by the US Secret Service in Egypt and held for over 6 hours because I didn’t believe him when he called me.

Best sporting achievement? Coaching all the under 7s and seeing how much fun they get out of the games we play if I am honest. It is the main reason I am in the park on a Sunday.
