Gamertag SECRET I'm afraid...

Strengths Physical presence, vision, good engine, never say die attitude.

Highlights Nearly winning the Caledonian Road, North London, 5-a-side league with my Dynamo BGS colleagues at Beautiful Game Studios.
Lowlights Not winning the above 5-a-side league because one of our programmers was playing for the opposition, and he equalised in the last minute, meaning they won.
Toughest rival PES
Biggest influence Dr Simon Warner - one of my best mates, and the man who made me quit Genetic Engineering for Videogames.
Best advice given Go and do something you want to do. It's possible to make a living from your hobby.
Latest car A Honda Oddessy - I'm a family man, and it's the done thing in Vancouver...
Flicks Withnail and I
Chicks my wife :)
TV programmes MOTD, SSN, 24, Heroes
If I hadn´t been a producer ... I'd be unemployed. or Unemployable.
Tell us something we don´t know
With my first paycheck I bought ... A very expensive bottle of champagne. 
Most embarrasing moment Having a gang of local chavs follow me to the 5-a-side pitch in north london chanting - 'Theres only 1 David Rutter, 1 David Ruuuuuttttter...'
In five years time To look back and wonder why I put PES in the Toughest Rival :)
