If
you won the lottery what would be the first thing you’d buy? I’d
buy Mark Peat a Mach3 razor and odour eaters for Marc McCulloch’s feet.
If
you could choose to share a pint with any three people, who would they be
and why? Ian Dobbins - the King, enough said, Carmen Electra – eye
candy and Roger Federer to quiz him on how he prepares/performs at the highest
level at all times.
Ever
been the victim, or perpetrator, of a dressing room practical joke? At Queens Park Stevie Canning and myself started leaving each other’s window
wipers up after training. It started to escalate to letting tyres down etc.
and eventually it got so bad that we started going to each others houses on
nights we weren’t training and doing different things to each others cars,
until finally I egged and floured Stevie’s car and put dog dirt on the car
handles!! When Stevie went to open the door, the obvious
happened.
