What are your interests outside of football? Playing the guitar and singing a tune or two to the family dog, travelling, studying videos of Ray Byrne playing in his prime (not really).
If you could take 3 celebrities to dinner who would they be and why? Lee Evans (for sheer laughs, my favourite comedian), David Beckham (so I could eat all I want and he’d pay for the bill, and I reckon he needs all the time he can get away from that Victoria one!) and local celebrity Brendan Monaghan to take pictures of the occasion.

Who is the joker of the team? Paul Mackle, wit and wisdom. Less of the latter.
Who is the best at training? Joel Annett. (when he’s not injured)
