If you won the lottery what would be the first thing you’d buy? I would make sure all my family and friends were sorted out first.

If you could choose to share a pint with any three people, who would they be and why? David Beckham, because he struggles! Diego Maradona, because he was a footballing genius and must have a few decent stories to tell; and Billy Connolly, because he’d be a great laugh.

Ever been the victim, or perpetrator, of a dressing room practical joke?  On my 19th birthday at Dundee FC, my clothes got cut up, I was covered in Vaseline then thrown in a mound of sand.  Then someone parked my car in Ian McCall’s, (the then manager of Dundee United), parking space at Tannadice.
