The Football League Paper

Team mates

-

Best mate at the club? Dan Gardner and Charlie Raglan. We only met when they both signed last year, but we get on really well. We stay in the same house on Friday nights before games and sit around and play FIFA or watch films. Last to buy dinner? Sam Hird is easily the tightest. He really doesn’t like getting his wallet out whatsoever. The FIFA king? Charlie’s not bad and Dan’s alright, but they don’t come close to me. I’m definitely the king. I play with Barcelona, which is cheating I suppose, but I’m winning so who cares?! Worst dressed? Charlie Raglan. Easy. He’s currently wearing a pair of those white slippers that go with the dressing gown from a hotel. He must have nicked them when we were on an away trip. He’s also got a pair of brown leather boots which got so much abuse that he never wore them again. Dressing room DJ? Ollie Banks, but he’s getting sacked because we’ve been listening to the same thing for about two years now. I think we’re going to get Sylvain Ebanks-Blake to take over. I drive up with him and he’s got some good beats. The most skilful? Gboly Ariyibi. Dan Gardner loves a nutmeg in training, but Gboly is just always throwing stepovers. Late for training? Armand Gnanduille­t spends his life paying fines for turning up late. I don’t know how he manages. Teacher’s pet? Sam Hird played for the boss [Dean Saunders] back at Doncaster Rovers so they’re pretty close. The season is just starting, but he seems to get on with the gaffer the best. Best cook? I think Dan Gardner loves cooking, but that’s only judging by the fact he likes wearing slippers and an apron! First on the dance floor? Sam Clucas has just signed for Hull City, but he really loved busting a move. Eoin Doyle was pretty good before he left too. Looks like all the dancers are leaving, so we might be a bit short on movers and shakers this year. Most likely to disgrace themselves at the Christmas party? Ian Evatt always goes home early, which is a disgrace in my eyes! He does his Houdini act and just disappears. We always look for him after midnight but he’s long gone, Cinderella-style. The worst tattoo? Sam Clucas again. He’s got a camel on his toe, which is pretty awful. I think Daniel Jones has his own name on his back like on the back of his shirt. All it’s missing is the number. Never puts their phone down? Everybody these days. But Armand Gnanduille­t is never off it, talking away in French to someone or other. Loves a sun bed? Ollie Banks always turns up pretty orange. I think he must have a sun bed in his house. Going to make the best manager? Ritchie Humphreys, because he’s been around the game for years and he’s got great football knowledge. He’s got a solid head on his shoulders and he’s really approachab­le.
