Interview with Reggae Boy Simeon Howell
Wednesday, January 28, 2004

Prior to departure for the CONCACAF Olympic Qualifiers in Mexico, RBSC spoke with Simeon Howell.

Name: Simeon Howell
Date of Birth: August 26, 1985
Place of Birth: Reading
Club: Reading (started at age 13)
Position: Central midfield

MM: How did you get the call-up?
SH: I came on trial over the summer, at the same time as Bradley (Thomas). I must have impressed, and I played against Cuba away.

MM: What are your Jamaican connections?
SH: My Mom and dad are Jamaican. They migrated around 30 years ago.

MM: How have you settled in?
SH: Only been here twice, but I am starting to settle in. There a lot of new faces all the time. I know Omar Daley from Reading though.

MM: What surprised you most about the experience?
SH: The weather - it is a lot hotter than I expected. It slows down the game, so it makes it different.

MM: What about training compared to England?
SH: Here it’s intense and technical. And some of the players are more skilful than in England.

MM: How do you rate Cargill?
SH: He is a tactical coach.

MM: What is it going to take for the team to advance?
SH: We’ve got a very good chance. We have got a good set of young players, but I don’t know about the other teams as well.

MM: Who are you football heroes?
SH: I compare myself to Patrick Veira. And Paul Scholes of ManU.

MM: What about locally?
SH: Loads of good players. I’m impressed with all.

MM: Well, I want to thank you for the opportunity, Simeon. All the best in the tournament.
SH: Thank you.
