Chris attended King Offa school from 1988, which is where he made some of his most solid friendships, which have lasted a lifetime. Chris was always a bit of a character at school and there is always a story of him being the "lovable rogue", the blond haired, blue eyed boy full of fun and character. He was always up to mischief or being cheeky in some way. 

Chris found a love of sports at King Offa and this is where his football interest began. He was part of the King Offa team and played regularly.
