Interview with Coventry football player
When was the last time you went to a pop concert? I went to see Primal Scream in the Wedgewood Rooms in Portsmouth last week, and they were absolutely awful. A real disappointment because I was expecting something pretty good.
When was the last time you were late for training? I’m never late and I’m even training through the summer to get myself ready for next season after my injury problems.
Noel Whelan and Paul Telfer are the worst two at the club for lateness. Noel lost his driving license a few months back and Telf is driving him everywhere so when one is late the other one is too.
When was the last time you have won on the lottery?
I do the damn thing every week and have never even won a tenner. Perhaps I should realise by now that I’m wasting my money. A few of the lads at Coventry do it as well but they cannot be as unlucky as me.
When was the last time you have went on holiday? I went to Spain where my father-in-law has got a place. Javea is the name of the area and if s very n ice. I’ve been to Tenerife a couple of times and that’s not bad, though we would all do anything to get away from this weather at the moment. You can’t even watch Wimbledon this summer it’s so bad.
When was the last time you paid to see a game?
It was the Portsmouth v Liverpool FA Cup Semi-Final in 1992. I was born in Portsmouth, played for the club and they are still my team. I remember Liverpool getting a late goal to stop Pompey from going to Wembley. It turned into a bit of a disastrous day – so disappointing!
When was the last time you’ve went to a sporting event other than football?
Nigel Benn was fighting at the NEC in Birmingham a couple of years back and the atmosphere was incredible. I think it was against Henry Wharton. By the end of the night there had been more fights in the crowd than there had been in the ring but I like boxing and you can’t beat a big fight night.
