Stirlingalbion.com is going to be bringing you a new feature in which we will be doing interviews with former players and managers and current players and manager were possible. To be able to ask your question, then please sign up to the FORUM and look out for the threads in the main forum.Our second interview is with a player who has came through the youth system and has been a first team player since season 2000/01- STEWART DEVINE
Stewart came through the youth system when Stirling were at their lowest thanks to two unsuccessful years by Ray Stewart, but he was one of several players who shined and are still with Stirling today. Stewart has played in several positions for the Binos over the years and scored a few spectacular goals through set pieces and open play. Devine has been linked with Dundee United and Morton in the past and racked up 122+23 appearances scoring 16 goals in total. Below is the questions from the fans and his answers:
1)How long have you been with the Binos in total and what did you think of their youth system/yts scheme? "Not sure how long in total but somewhere around 8 or 9 years. At the time the youth system was one of the best. One time under Ray Stewart i'm sure the starting 11 was mainly made up of players from the under 18's." 2)What do you remember from your debut? "Remember setting up our goal and then in the last minute I slipped to let Colin McKinnon to score the equaliser" 3)What has been the worst/best moment of your career so far? "Worst moment ....Where do I begin....probably getting relegated under Ray Stewart and the best moment would be winning promotion although we should have won the league that year." 4)What is your favourite goal you have scored in your career? "The goal away to elgin back when I was 17. We won 3-2 and I scored the second. I cut inside a guy and swung at it with my right foot and hoped for the best, luckily it flew into the top corner!" 5)What position do you enjoy playing most/think you are best at? "I like playing at left back as I can see what's in front of me and would say my best position is left back too." 6)What's the best player you have played with? " As a young boy I played with the likes of Derek Riordan, Stevie Whittaker, Kevin Thompson, but with the Albion, i'd say Iain Turner." 7)Who is the most difficult opponent you have come up against? " The guy who's at Hearts just now, Julien Brellier. I played against him in a pre season friendly and he never gave me a moments rest and he loves a tackle!!" 8)What do you think of the Albion fans? " Mental!!! It would be easy to support the likes of Rangers and Celtic, but the real fans are the ones who travel away to the likes of Peterhead and Stranraer on a cold saturday afternoon to follow they're team." 9)Whats the funniest comment you've heard from the crowd? " I've heard a few, but I think the fans giving Ronaldo stick when we played East Stirling in the final of the Stirlingshire cup." 10)Whats your thoughts on the SPL 2 proposals and where does he see the future of clubs like the binos in these plans? " I can't really comment on that as I don't know much about it." " There's always rumours in football but, I'd love to get the chance of playing full time football and I'm sure most of part time players would be the same." 12)Are you frustrated still to be an Albion player? " As much as I enjoy playing for the Albion, I am still frustrated to be here. Maybe if i'd done things differently I might be playing at a higher level. Going awol did not help my case any but you learn by your mistakes." 13)Where do you see yourself playing in five years time? " Hopefully in the green and white of Hibs." 14)Why do you let Chris Aitken take free kicks? " We decide at the time of the free kick who takes it. if it looks better for a left footer to take it i do." 15)How do you like working for Stirling Council ? " Really enjoying it although a Tuesday and Thursday can be difficult with going to training after it and not getting home till ten some nights.. but thats life." 16)Alex Burns or Davie Graham? " Neither are my type I'm afraid" 17)Are you going to the Beat on saturday night? " This Saturday??....think I'll save myself for new years eve!" 18)Whats your favourite type of cheese? " Philadelphia?? check that spelling!" (Editor says no after the answer from the next question!!!) 19)Do you think Mif is a ginge? " Without a shadow of a doubt!" (Editor- I find comfort that Yogi is as well!!) 20)What does you think of being thought of as having a severe attitude problem? " Who said I had an attitude problem?? was this question from my girlfriend??" 21)Whats the most you have won at the bookies? " Not enough!! Well..enough to go awol for a few weeks!!"
