5 minutes with Ian van der Meulen

Ewen is Craig Darby’s right-hand man and is the current St Oran’s 1^st XI football team manager.  He was invited to be our China Star’s Logistics Manager and then we decided to give him the Finance Manager role too.  Needless to say, he’s really looking forward to heading to Ho Chi Minh City...

Ian can’t wait to sample the Chinese cuisine. Apparently he’s pretty adventurous on that front and is keen to taste anything that’s put in front of him, especially grasshoppers, snake-blood cocktails, bird’s nest... On a more serious note, Ian really wants to see the team enjoy their time playing sport and partaking in the cultural experience that visiting China is.  He hopes it opens their eyes to how big the world really is!

Ian provided this photo for the blog.  You'll note how the infra-red heat-map imagery picks out the white-hot area in the centre of his forehead, where that razor-sharpe analytical mind resides.  Or maybe it's just a camera-flash reflection...

When I asked Ian for some sage words of advice for everyone, all he had was “Vespa Rules” – and he followed that cryptic remark by saying we have to wait for more details...  More soon!
