Nick Welton - Niketown Football.

Tuesday, 14 July 2009 at 02:52
When I first started this blog, I wanted to attract some big names for interviews. Now whilst some of you may think that interviewing the Football category manager of Niketown London would involve someone who'd been bred to work in retail, you'd be wrong. In fact the towering figure of Nick Welton actually has the build of a centre forward. He's even played in Europe!

Plagued by injuries towards the latter end of his career, the financial connoisseur made a final transfer into the heart of retail. Whilst Niketown never has its downtimes, he found the time to answer a few questions on his playing days...and he even found a picture for us too....

Fact file:
