Dee is front row, furthest left

SHE is the busiest bee in the Sharks team.
Dilara Begum (aka Dee) has played as a forward and scored lots of goals, she has played in midfield and won hundreds of tackles and played in defence and been solid as a rock.
Dee is a fantastic 100% player to have on the team for her determination and enthusiasm and she makes everyone laugh too!
Here is what makes her tick....

FULL NAME: Dilara Begum
NICKNAME: Dee-Namite; Wonder Woman
LIVES: Birmingham
DATE OF BIRTH: 12/08/1985
FAVOURITE FOOTBALL TEAM: Don't really support a team I just prefer to watch any match that's good. But if I had to pick one team it would have to be the GWS
BEST POSITION: Right back - love taking opponent's ankles out if they get too close to my area. BEST GOAL SCORED: 10 yards right of the goal area I aimed to curl a shot into the far left corner but a save and rebound off the keeper then meant that I had to run and header it in.
HOW LONG HAVE YOU PLAYED FOOTBALL/FUTSAL FOR: I've played football throughout various points in my life. In school and college I played as striker but gave football a rest after having my daughter. Just over a year ago I started playing football at a local centre for fitness where I met Salma and Aisha who then for some mad reason thought they saw potential and asked me to join the GWS and I've never looked back.
FAVOURITE FOOTBALLER: Has to be the one the only Messi. He's so tiny yet he has the strength, agility and skill like none other, hence why my GWS t-shirt reads Messi Dee!
FAVOURITE OTHER SPORTS: Basketball! An absolutely amazing technical sport.
OTHER HOBBIES/PASTIMES: Movies. You can't beat a good movie and a bowl of popcorn. TEAM YOU LIKE PLAYING AGAINST THE MOST: Definitely Under Estimated, our arch nemesis.
TEAM YOU LIKE PLAYING THE LEAST: None really apart from maybe new teams that for the first few matches against them struggle because they're not quite used to the intensity of a the five-a-side game.
BEST GAME EVER SEEN: I couldn't say really I have goldfish memory, sorry what did you just ask me?
WHO WILL WIN THE BARCLAYS PREMIER LEAGUE: You tell me lolz
WHO WILL WIN THE NEXT WORLD CUP: An ambitious answer but would love England to win
FAVOURITE SONG: Marvin Gaye's 'Let's Get It On' is my all-time favourite and I scream every time it comes on the radio.
FAVOURITE BAND/SINGER: Michael Buble!!!
FAVOURITE TV SHOW: Eastenders obviously, I'm British through and through.
FAVOURITE ACTOR/ACTRESS: I've got two so I cant separate them - Al Pacino and Robert De Niro. If I was born into a famous family one of them would be my dad lolz.
FAVOURITE CARTOON: The classic Inspector Clouseau and I still watch it on YouTube.
FAVOURITE COLOUR: All colours; I don't discriminate lolz.
FAVOURITE FOOD: Mmm Subway veggie delite with extra jalapeno
FAVOURITE DRINK: Rubicon Lycee.
BEST PLACE VISITED: I haven't visited many places as I've only just received a passport but I love visiting Newport in South Wales with all its countryside and hills.
PERSONAL AMBITIONS: Like Salma I would love to be well known for my sporting contributions, but for now I'm happy to just improve as a player. I would also love to pursue my dream career as a midwife.
AMBITIONS FOR THE SHARKS: Win! Win! Win! 1st position every league. I don't, however, think that that's an ambition but more as 'a matter of time' .
