TEAM-MATES

Hartlepool striker Scott Fenwick lifts the lid on his fellow players

-

Best mate at the club? It’s a toss up between Michael Duckworth and Michael Woods. We’re like a trio. I knew Woodsy from when we used to play a few youth games against each other quite a few years ago and I only met Ducky when I signed for Hartlepool in November. We have a few nights out and have some laughs.

Last to buy dinner? Woodsy has got the most money and yet he’s the tightest. He’s good at winning poker games, but you’ll never see his winnings.

The Fifa king? Rakish Bingham is the undisputed king. He’s never lost. He’s probably played everyone on the team and never ever been beaten. He beat me 3-0 when we last played.

Worst dressed? Josh Nearney. He’s got a bit of cash about him, so he’s always coming in with Vivienne Westwood gear and you’d think he was playing in the Premier League.

Most skilful? Rakish Bingham has got really fast feet. He’s mugged some of the lads off in training a few times.

Late for training? Matthew Bates is never on time. His excuses are everything under the sun from being at the dentist to being in the canteen when everyone else was in the changing rooms. He says that he’s never late when he always is.

Teacher’s pet? Michael Woods, 100 per cent. The gaffer, Ronnie Moore, loves him and he loves the gaffer. Everyone calls him Ronnie Woods.

Best/worst cook? A few of the lads stay at Stuart Parnaby’s house on a Friday before the home games, so he always puts on good food for them. In terms of worst cook, Ebby Nelson-Addy burnt some beans on toast before, so I’d say him.

First on the dancefloor? That would be myself or Trevor Carson. We definitely don’t have good moves though.

Most likely to disgrace themselves at the Christmas party? Brad Walker. He loves getting on the karaoke and singing and dancing. He’s a lightweigh­t on the drink as well.

Worst tattoo? Me hands down, I’m afraid I have to admit. I’ve got my name tattooed on my back. I got ribbed for that when I first signed.

Never puts their phone down? Carl Magnay. He’s always on his phone non-stop. Whether it’s Facebook, Twitter or Instagram, he’s never off it, he barely looks up.

Partial to a sunbed? Lewis Hawkins is orange. He always has a sunbed before the game. He makes sure he looks good. He has a right go with his hair and everything.

Going to make the best manager? Probably Nicky Feathersto­ne, because he’s so angry. On the football pitch, he’s just so angry constantly. So he’d get the best out of you, just because you wouldn’t want to be on the receiving end of that anger.
