Ben Herd

I'm a right-back playing for Aldershot Town in League Two, having left Shrewsbury Town in the summer of 2009 after four good years at the club.
I was spotted by Watford at the age of eight and spent all my youth years with them, the club closest to where I grew up. It didn't quite work out for me there and I never got to play in the first team despite getting a first professional contract. But Ray Lewington, the manager at the time I got released in 2005, put in a good word for me with Gary Peters - then the Shrewsbury Town manager - and I did enough on trial to earn a deal.
Every week on betting.betfair.com I’ll be interviewing a player from the opposition after the match and asking them about how things are going at their club, their own personal objectives and a few light-hearted questions about what they get up to off the pitch. I’ll also throw in a few thoughts about how I’m doing myself and briefing you on the latest news at Aldershot Town. Any comments on my column are always welcome!
