team mates
Best mate? Billy Kee. I’ve been friends with Billy for about 10 years or so after our last spell at Accrington together. We played together then and we’ve stayed close since, so we are definitely best mates now. He’s stuck up in Burnley, but after games we usually have a pint together. Last to buy dinner? That would be the captain, Seamus Conneely. He’s always the last one to the bar, every time! Judging by the clothes he wears as well, you can tell he’s tight! Worst dressed? Seamus, obviously! He’s the tightest man at the club and he’s the worst dressed! Looking at him, you’d think all his clothes are fake. He loves a freebie and never spends any money on his clothes. It’s all just awful, awful stuff! Always late for training? Aaron Chapman. He has to travel from Leeds and that’s his excuse every day, but he’s constantly late. It’s not been talked about much lately as he’s kept a couple of clean sheets, but the minute he starts letting a few goals in the captain will come down on him and start fining him again. Or he may just buy him an alarm clock. He’s very laidback and we’ve been on at him since the start of the season to get his time-keeping better. Teacher’s pet? I think a lot of the players would say myself as I’ve been with the gaffer (John Coleman) for so long, but, at the minute, I’d say Janoi Donacien. He’s flavour of the month because he’s playing so well. They’ve got really close over the last month! He can do no wrong – he gets away with murder! First on dance floor? We’ve got a lad called Liam Nolan and he’s the quietest lad in football, but he has an alter ego called Joey. When he’s had a drink, he turns into Joey and is the loudest person ever! He’d be 100 per cent first on the dance floor. He doesn’t speak at other times, but get a couple of Peronis in him and Joey comes out. Joey’s got a few great moves, to be fair. Most likely to disgrace himself at a Christmas party? Could be Joey again, or it could be Jordan Clark. He’s quite lively when he’s had a drink, too. We had a Christmas do either last year or the year before and he was the first on the dance floor. He was down on the floor rolling about. He’s quite funny, to be honest. A great lad. FIFA king? I’m not a FIFA man myself, but they all play it at the back of the bus. I think the lad we had on loan (from Leeds), Mallik Wilks. I heard he was the best. Now he’s gone back, I’d give it to Kayden Jackson. I know he loves his FIFA as well. Worst tattoos? Ben RichardsEverton. He’s got a tattoo of one of his exes on his chest, which is highly embarrassing! It’s absolutely terrible and he needs to get it removed, doesn’t he?! If I was him, I’d get that lasered straight off because, if I was his new girlfriend, I wouldn’t be happy! Likely to make the best manager? Scott Brown or Mark Hughes, I would say. They’re both quite knowledgeable and have played a lot of games. I know Scott does a bit of coaching outside of football as well. They’re both great lads and they would have the personality to lead a dressing room, I think.
