Mold Alex boss Mike Cunningham and Brickfield Rangers' Andrew Ruscoe pick out their best football moments

Cunningham couldn’t enough of Liverpool’s Robbie Fowler while Roscoe has plenty of Welsh Cup memories.

What’s been the highlight of your footballing days so far? Winning the Welsh National League Division One League Cup in 2011/12 with Argoed United. It was a great group of lads who deserved to win it with the way the season ended.

Who has had the most influence on you as a footballer and in what way? Robbie Fowler: Grew up watching him week in, week out and he was the most natural finisher. I remember being at Anfield when he scored five against Fulham and then spent endless hours trying to recreate his goals and technique.

What’s the funniest thing you’ve seen or been involved in on a football field? Can’t really think of one.

What do you find to be the most difficult aspect of playing football? Heading. Hated it! Nothing worse for a striker getting clogged by a big centre-half when trying to win a flick on.

If you could pluck any player out of the Premier League to play in your team who would it be and why? That’s a tough one, but I’d go James Milner. He’s an manager’s dream, plays anywhere you ask, plays well and leads by example.

Which football team do you support and what’s been your favourite moment watching them? Liverpool and the 2005 European Cup win without doubt. I still have no idea how we won that!

If you could change one rule in football what would it be and why? VAR being used for offside decisions. Get rid of it, too many grey areas and human error is part of the game.

What’s been the most memorable match you’ve played in and why was it so memorable? While managing at Argoed, we went away to Borras who were top at the time. We were winning 4-2 with about 10-15 minutes left their goalkeeper got sent off and then decided to chase the referee, so the game got abandoned.

It got replayed last game of the season and whoever won, won the league. It was a Friday night and there was a decent crowd. We lost 4-3, so Borras celebrated but only a couple of days later they were deducted three points for the abandoned game and Saltney won the league and earned promotion. We missed out.

Who’s been the best player you’ve played with or against? Difficult to pick just one with so many great players over the years, but two stick out for me.

John ‘Lenny’ Leonard was an unbelievable player and a real captain on and off the pitch. Had success wherever he has played. At Saltney Town, the first two seasons Jake Gibbons was virtually unplayable. Goals, attitude and ‘the chop’ to go with it!

Mike’s top team: 1 Ben Jones and Joey Makaruk (Couldn’t choose); 2 Ben Howarth; 3 Matty Roberts; 4 John Leonard; 5 Ian Cropper; 6 Dean Hughes; 7 Shaun ‘Toast’ Hughes; 8 Rhys Nash; 9 Mike Cunningham; 10 Jake Gibbons; 11. Asa Hamilton

And here’s what Rangers’ Roscoe had to say.

What’s been the highlight of your footballing days so far? It has to be when I signed for Cefn Druids and played against Barry Town United in the Welsh Cup.

I was so nervous all week, as I had the nod from Geoff Williams that Huw Griffiths was going to start me. Luckily enough we won 5-2 and I did really well.

The other has to be in Futsal when I played for the Great Britain AMF Side against Italy. I might have been on for five minutes but I kept a clean sheet.

Who has had the most influence on you as a footballer and in what way? There has been many managers such as Levi Lloyd, the former Gap Queen’s Park Manager, Gary Crewe, when I was at Castell Alun and Geoff Williams when I was at Druids.

They all played a big part with their superb managerial influence but I think Paul Hooson has to have the full honour as he’s probably been the only person to have grounded me long term.

He’s been involved in my football since I was eight where he has offered sound advice.

What’s the funniest thing you’ve seen or been involved in on a football field? It has to be a match between Lex Reserves and Castell Alun Reserves seven years ago. The referee didn’t turn up that day, so Gary Crewe decide to take charge.

I don’t think he actually refereed the game because the majority of the time he was on his mobile phone whilst everyone was shouting at him for things like offside. All he would say is first team’s winning 2-1and get on with it you big babies to the opposition.

What do you find to be the most difficult aspect of playing football? The fitness side of it was always the hardest part because I don’t like running and put alcohol first in my younger playing days.

If you could pluck any player out of the Premier League to play in your team who would it be and why? Bruno Fernandes. He covers other player’s positions like a futsal player and creates opportunities out of nothing.

Which football team do you support and what’s been your favourite moment watching them? Manchester United and watching them win the 1999 Champions League as a young lad.

Peter Schmeichel was one of my heroes and he came up for a corner against Rotor Volgograd and he connected with the ball then the rest was history. I just wished big Pete had scored the goal but seeing Fergie lift old big ears was enough for me.

If you could change one rule in football what would it be and why? Summer football like the Republic of Ireland where the season runs from March to November. I just think more games will be on if we made this change.

What’s been the most memorable match you’ve played in and why was it so memorable? The Welsh Cup game for Cefn Druids against Barry. I don’t even know how I saved most of the shots. But the game that still breaks my heart was for Brickfield Rangers in the Welsh Cup second round against Buckley Town where I was sent off for pushing Mark Roberts over because he punched the ball out of my hands. We went on to lost 4-3.

Who’s been the best player you’ve played with or against? The best player I have played with has Scott Quigley when he was on loan at Druids from TNS. That lad just knew how to score from anywhere.

The best player I played against was Jamie Breese when I played for Rhydymwyn in the Cymru Alliance. He played for Llanidloes and his pace was phenomenal.

Andrew’s best: 1 Peter Schmeichel; 2 Gary Neville; 3 Roberto Carlos; 4 Gerard Pique; 5 Jaap Stam; 6 David Beckham; 7 Luis Figo; 8 Zinedine Zidane; 9 Cristiano Ronaldo; 10 Ruud Van Nistelrooy; 11 Gareth Bale.
