How do you relax away from football?: I’m a family man and like spending time with my wife and kids. I’m also a great fan of boxing and basketball and I love watching both on the telly.

Favourite other sport to play: Tennis.
Favourite other sport to watch: I mentioned them earlier - basketball and boxing. As far as football is concerned I’ll switch on for the big games, but I’m not a great watcher to be honest.
Favourite holiday destination: Monaco.
Favourite television programme: The Sopranos.
Favourite film: Goodfellas.
Favourite restaurant/eating place: I haven’t been in Norfolk long enough to form an opinion on that one.
Favourite read: Anything to do with boxing.
Recommended listening: Easy listening. I haven’t got a particular favourite artist or band.

Best thing about living in Norfolk: There’s a lot of space and once you get out of the city you can get about because the traffic isn’t too bad.
Worst thing about living in Norfolk: I can’t think of one. I really like it here.

Whose result do you look out for first?: Nottingham Forest. I was born and brought up in the city.
What was the first team you ever played for?: As a boy, Clifton All Whites in Nottingham. From there I moved on to Lincoln City.

What would you have done if you hadn’t made the grade?: Something that kept me active. Maybe a fireman or something like that.
What will you do when your playing career is over?: I wouldn’t have thought it will have anything to do with football. It’s not something I’ve given too much thought to yet.
