Team mates
Best mate at the club? Best mate at the club!? I’d say Deji Oshilaja. Me and Deji were roommates last year, so I would say me and Deji are probably the closest. Last to buy dinner? Andy Barcham. He doesn’t like to splash the cash. You’d be lucky to get Barchy to even come, let alone pay for it – he doesn’t want to pay for the petrol to get there. The FIFA king? It’s not about FIFA anymore – everyone plays Fortnite. I’m not sure about FIFA king. We’ll have to see when the new one comes out but I’ve heard that one of the younger lads, Neset Bellikli, he’s the number one guy on Fortnite. The boys play online in the same groups. I’m too old for all that stuff. I do play a bit of FIFA but only for about four weeks until after it comes out and then never again, so I haven’t played the last one for about nine months now. No, I never play as myself. I’d rather play with the good players! Worst dressed? It’s a tough one. Everyone’s pretty much trackies every day, so you couldn’t really pick one out. It’s probably me! I’d say I’m the best-dressed but others may disagree! The pre-match dressing room DJ? The dressing room DJ right now is Tom Soares. He plays the usual – R&B, hip-hop, dance music; stuff to get us going. It changes every week, to be fair. To be honest, we’re quite flexible as a group with our music. It can be different people. I think Soarsey’s done it a few times, but it changes quite regularly. Late for training? We’ve got some big fines now this season for being late. It’s probably the car pool – Andy Barcham, Joe Pigott, Kewsi (Appiah), Mitchell Pinnock and Scott Wagstaff. They’re in a little car pool and they come from a little bit further, so they’re always getting stuck in traffic and they’re always the ones who are late. They’re so far away, it doesn’t make a difference – they still get fined. Teacher’s pet? I’d say Deji Oshilaja. He came through the academy at Cardiff under the gaffer (Neal Ardley). The gaffer’s made him captain and he’s definitely his best mate. First on the dancefloor? Ah that would be me – me and Deji. I might be first on the dancefloor but I don’t mind who’s playing the tunes. I’m not the one who jumps on the music. I’m up there. I’m a phenomenal dancer. Most likely to disgrace themselves at the Christmas party? Mitchell Pinnock and Andy Wordsworth. They’re both just a couple of lads who like a beer and when they have a couple, it starts to get a bit wild. That’s all I can say. The worst tattoo? Probably Tom Soares. He’s got one of those standard: ‘Soares’ tattoos where it just says his name – I always wonder why people have them. It just says his name on his arm. I don’t know why. Apparently he needed it. Going to make the best manager? I’ll say me, just because I’m good with words. Better than the rest of them, at least – I can’t understand most of the boys when they talk!
