Team mates
Best mate? I would probably have to say Mani Dieseruvwe because I live with him. I have known him since he came to the club and he’s got Nigerian heritage like me, so we share a few interests. Last to buy dinner? I’m not sure who is the last, but Sam Morsy paid for our Nando’s the last time I went out with the lads for food. He is a good captain and a top guy so he decided to step up and pay. He looks after us well. FIFA king? I am currently locked in a bit of a competition with Mani, but I don’t really know who plays out of the rest of the boys. I will have to organise a tournament to get a better idea of my competition. Worst dressed? Some of Aaron Chapman’s gear can be appalling. One time he was wearing just a gilet with no top underneath, showing his bare arms. He comes up with quite a few surprising choices. Dressing room DJ? Ollie Banks plays a few DJ mixes, some RnB and house music in the dressing room. It is hard because everyone has different tastes, but Ollie does a pretty good job and the music is generally popular. Most skilful? I would like to say myself, or possibly Jay O’Shea. As a winger I like to throw in a few step-overs when I play, but I haven’t yet got the Yannick Bolasie-type stuff, so I’ll have to work on that from now on in training. Late for training? No one stands out as we are all quite professional here. People tend to arrive on time as manager Dean Saunders runs a tight ship. Teacher’s pet? I think the manager has a good relationship with all the players. Maybe he likes the strikers better because he was one himself, but he certainly does not make it too obvious. Worst cook? No one really cooks for anyone. I’m fortunate enough not to have experienced any terrible cooking from my team mates yet. Nutrition is quite important so I’m happy to steer clear of their attempts! First on the dance floor? It used to be Sam Clucas when he was still here but Myles Wright came out when he turned 18 and was busting some moves. Most likely to disgrace themselves at the Xmas party? Everyone here is pretty cool and levelheaded. Tommy Lee is a funny guy, he is lively and has good chat so he is usually the life of the party, but I am yet to see him disgrace himself. Worst tattoo? There could be a few, but I am not going to name names. I don’t want to embarrass them! But there are one or two about so they probably know who they are. Never puts the phone down? Aaron Chapman is always active, messaging away, but I’m also on my phone quite a lot. I will let some others off because they are very attached to their girlfriends. Partial to a sunbed? None that I know of, but they probably wouldn’t admit if they were. They keep it subtle because they would probably get a bit of a ribbing for it. Going to make the best manager? Ritchie Humphreys comes to mind straight away. Ian Evatt would also be a good manager.
