Name : Haydn Baker
Favorite Colour : Blue
Age : 46
First Game : Cardiff City v Luton, Ninian Park 1977
Favorite moment : Every goal Cardiff score, sends an emotional charge through me which is not equalled in other sphere of my life. Every final whistle with three points in the bag brings a sustained joy and satisfaction I find difficult to put into words.
Worst Moment : Every goal scored against Cardiff is a dagger in my soul which renders me speechless and the only antidote is two Cardiff goals. However there have been some sickening moments, none more so than the last catastrophe at Peterboro.
Why do I watch the City : When the City kick-off every life-time care goes out of the window, at this time nothing is more important than us scoring, us winning. The high when we score, when we collect our three points make all those life cares so much more manageable and bearable.
Favorite Current Player : Jay Bothroyd
Favorite Player in a City Shirt : Jason Koumas
Other Teams Followed : None
Other Sports : Rugby, Cricket
Profession : Project Manager, McLaren Cars

Name..Dave Davies.
Live...Penarth although originally a Llanishen boy.
Occupation...Bus driver for 6 months, after getting made redundant twice in 12 months. Previously a warehouse manager and before that working in the funeral business.
Age 56.
Children...3...Sophie 20, Olivia 16, George 13.
Followed City since approx 1965/66 although did have a break from football from 1976 until 1997, when I followed/played egg,(shameful I know).
Favourite all time City player...probably Brian Clark, but also liked Ian Gibson, Willie Anderson and currently Super Kev.
Favourite City moment...beating Leeds in the cup game, followed by the play off final against QPR. Enjoyed the 2 visits to Wembley as well.
My pet hate in football is when a player goes down and feigns injury to get a fellow player booked/sent off. Really miss the old players like Tommy Smith who were as hard as nails and knew how to tackle.
Worst City memory...probably the Stoke play off game at Ninian, or Sheff Wed last season in the last game.
