team mates
Best mate? We’ve lost a lot of players in recent years. Jake Livermore was a good friend but he’s obviously left us now. I think it’s Moses (Odubajo). We travelled in together when he transferred to the club and he’s a good friend. Last to buy dinner? To be fair, we have a fines system and, when we go out to dinner, it normally goes towards that. We went for lunch on Tuesday and a couple of lads were missing training. That will be on them, but it’s normally cards in, so no one really seems to get exposed. Worst dressed? Oh, that’s easy. It’s Jackson Irvine. His dress sense is out there. Fair play to him because some of it would be like fancy dress if I put it on. Well, he wears trousers halfway up his ankles – it’s just out there! Maybe it’s an Aussie thing? Dressing room DJ? Michael Hector or David Meyler and sometimes Kamil (Grosicki), but then we’re in big trouble You can imagine what he puts on if the others aren’t there. That’s when he takes charge. The others usually play the kind of good tunes that get you pumping. Always late for training? Ola Aina or Fik (Tomori) . They like to push it to the limit, so they get fined a few times. If you are a few minutes late, that’s what happens but, in general, everyone’s pretty good. The manager (Nigel Adkins) is high on discipline, being on time and respect and all that, so if you are late, you get fined. Everyone knows the consequences Teacher’s pet? We don’t have one, to be fair. The gaffer is open with everyone, so, no, there is no-one that I can really say. First on the dance floor? It’s Frazier Campbell. He’s got some moves, to be fair. Always loves to pull a few shapes if tunes come on. He’s got a bit. Most likely to disgrace himself at a Christmas party? No-one, I’d say. There is no-one that stands out when they have one too many Ribenas or that kind of thing. I don’t think we’ve got anyone who has the potential to do that, so no-one really stands out as someone that would disgrace himself. We have a good group and, when we all go out, I’d like to think we’re all in the mix. FIFA king? That’s David Meyler. It’s one person and one person only. The easiest question of the day. In fact, I swear he tweets about it a bit, doesn’t he? He tries to take on five people challenges and things like that. I’ve never been one to play it. I’d be the worst in the dressing room. Worst tattoos? I’m going say Jackson Irvine – he’s the only one I can think of who’s got some bad ones, so we’ll go with Jackson. I can’t quite really describe what he’s got, but I’ll just say he has a few bad ones. There isn’t really anyone else that comes close. Likely to make the best manager? I think myself or Seb (Larsson). It would probably be us as we’re the two senior lads. I’m obviously quite vocal myself in the dressing room and Seb’s another senior head around the place.
