What three items, other than food and clothing, couldn’t you live without?  My mobile phone, even though it never works!  Hair Wax, without it life would be a disaster, and money obviously!

If you won the lottery what would be the first thing you’d buy? It would have to be a silver Ferrari, I’ve wanted one my whole life.

 If you could choose to share a pint with any three people, who would they be and why? Pele, because he was the best player in the world, Elisha Cuthbert to see if I had a chance, and Muhammad Ali, one of the best sports personalities. 

Ever been the victim, or perpetrator, of a dressing room practical joke?  At Hibs, the whole U19 team pinned me down and wrote a dirty word on my forehead in permanent marker pen.  Luckily it came off.
