PLAYER PROFILE: Spyros Mentis

Spyros Mentis

The latest instalment in our player profile series features midfielder Spyros Mentis. We spoke to Spyros to find out a little more about him including which legendary Italian defensive trio were his boyhood hero’s and there’s also some, admittedly very lo-fi and grainy, footage of THAT goal from earlier in the year!

Name: Spyros Mentis

Nickname: Spit

Previous clubs: St Albans City, Hayes & Yeading and Takeley.

 Favourite Team: Olimpiakos F.C.

Olympiacos FC

Favourite current player: César Azpilicueta

Favourite player when growing up (and why): Three stand out: Gianluigi Buffon, Leonardo Bonucci and Giorgio Chiellini. Loved watching them win games of football.

Favourite Away Ground (and why): Smelly Dulwich Hamlet

Most memorable moment in football: That overhead against Thame a few weeks ago. Would have gone viral if it wasn’t filmed on a 1980’s Nokia.

Biggest disappointment in football: Barton in the playoffs at Garden Walk a few years ago. That hurt!

Best player you’ve played with: Gus Scott Morris and his tremendous right foot.

Best player you’ve played against: Ross Barkley, was told to follow him around all game. Got dragged at half time, he scored 3. Lost 5-0

Best thing about Royston Town FC: Parking, Hehe ;). In all honesty the club’s commitment in moving forward and progressing is really refreshing. Honoured to be involved in the process.
