Please can you ask Bobby if he has been through a period in his career where he’s not been able to convert chances. Was this due to a loss of confidence? Why did he lose this confidence? Were other players missing chances too? What changed to get him scoring again?

His longest drought in the PL is 1762 minutes (close to 30 hours) which is a very long drought. Would indeed be interesting to hear how he coped with it.

1. Which job at BHAFC (other than manager, which we can take as read) would Mr Zamora consider taking if it was offered to him? E.g youth team coach.

2. What does he think of VAR?

Is he available to do some striker coaching with our collection of underachievers?

Zamora was never a prolific goal scorer at Premier League level. His best season was 11 goals in the Premier League. This isn't a criticism of Zamora, but a useful comparison of how hard it is to regularly score at Premier League level.

When Fulham came 7th in the PL, Zamora started 32 games scoring 2 goals and 1 assist. Considering they ended up 7th, you'd imagine he was quite good anyway but a common NSC opinion is that strikers regardless of what they do otherwise are shit if they dont score, so I guess he was shite making that league position even more remarkable.

And how much can a good manager or coach influence that? Leon Knight talked about Steve Coppell making him feel 12 feet tall and gave him the confidence to just perform and focus on his game. What examples could he give good and bad to help us understand the striker coach/manager relationship.

Who was the best player out of Nathan Ellington, Jamie Cureton and Jason Roberts. You can't say yourself.

He wouldn’t do that. He’s a clever lad.

Can you ask Bobby if he agrees with Bruno's statement ' once a Seagull always a Seagull' ?

Has he done his coaching badges and does he see himself as a coach in the future and at what level (youth, first team etc.)?

I'd be interested to hear what his thoughts and expectations were on coming to us on loan. Likewise when he signed permanently. did he have any idea or hope that 20 years down the line he would be revered as one of the clubs all time legends?

On a slightly less profound note, which song of his does/did he prefer: 'That's Zamora' or 'Oohh Bobby Zamora'(to the tune of seven nation army)?
