Some of you might recognise the name, we talked to long term Halifax Town fan and the person who knows everything FC Halifax Town, ‘Shayman Stats.’

Letโ€™s start with how you became a Halifax fan, can you tell us a little about it?

“From birth!ย  My father was a Town fan (his dad took him).”

What’s your first memories supporting the club?ย 

“My first memory was being sat on the wall roughly 3/4 years old at the front of the Skircoat Stand.ย  A family friendsโ€™ daughter Joanne pointed out to me Chris Lucketti.”

What’s been your best memory supporting the Shaymen?ย 

“My best memory was on the 13th April 1998.ย  When Dave Hanson made it 4-3 against Southport in front of the new South Stand, at that moment I knew the Town were going up!”

When did you get involved with finding out statistics on the club?

“I got involved in the 2009/10 season when I kept a fixture list on a database to look back on results for my own amusement.

“From there it grew simply from ‘why don’t I record goal scorers now, how about a spreadsheet on appearances’ and its evolved and evolved again from there!”

What’s your favourite statistic?

“My favourite stat is everyone contained in Halifax Town: A Complete History by club historian, Johnny Meynell.”

What are you looking forward to for the 19/20 season?

“I love our new home shirt! So, I’m excited about getting that, and I’m looking forward to seeing the young players settle in – new signing Earing is looking good already!”
