Callum Page | Get To Know Q&A #7 | 04.11.2023 |

Forward Callum Page answers the questions for our seventh instalment of our Get To Know Q&A Series.


Quickfire Questions:

Favourite Hot Drink: Hot chocolate.
Favourite Cold Drink: Coke, just normal coke mate, Coca-Cola. 
Favourite Snack: Probably those Squares bars, the little Rice Krispies thingys.
Favourite Takeaway/Dinner: Chinese.
Favourite TV Show: Power.
Favourite Film: The Wolf Of Wall Street.
Favourite Hobby Other Than Football: That's a tough question Drew, probably gaming.
Favourite Video Game: Call Of Duty.
Team You Support: Liverpool.
Favourite Player - Current or All Time: Of all time, it's Stevie G. Current, it's Messi.
Favourite Sport Other Than Football: That's a tough question, I don't know. To play, probably darts.
Favourite Moment In A Needham Shirt So Far And Why: It's got to be Yeovil, the penalty shootout alone. The up and downs of emotions, like them being one penalty away from winning it, Marco saving
3 times and then us going to score the winner, probably the best day I've had in football.

DK: That's the day your one looped in, almost giving us an anxiety attack!
CP: Yeah, the keeper put into the top corner for me, thankfully!

DK: If you could've been involved in any sporting event so far, what would it have been, and why?
CP: Probably Liverpool, Istanbul 2005, the Champions League Final.

DK: If you could swap places with anyone in football, who would it be and why?
CP: Right now, I'd probably say somebody like Rico Lewis from Man City, being young and working under Pep. Obviously if he stays there his whole career, he gets to learn from the best his whole career. Like Phil Foden, as well, that's another one. 

Player Profile:

DK: How would you describe yourself as a player?
CP: A big confidence player, I'd say I'm direct, quick, skillful and can produce a moment of magic.

DK: What's the one thing you think you're personally known best for as a player and why?
CP: It used to be a goalscoring midfielder, but I'd probably say now movement and taking people on in and around the box, making something happen. I'd wouldn't really say there's one thing about me that stands out, maybe finishing or shooting.

DK: What inspired you to be a footballer?
CP: Probably Gerrard to be fair mate, always watched him when I was younger, I kind of played similar to him when I was younger. I used to be like a holding midfielder, just used to be bigger and stronger than everyone and just ping the ball from left to right. Yeah, I just loved the thrill of scoring a goal to be honest mate, and never fallen out of love with it.

DK: Who is the best player you've Played with and why?
CP: I'll say Idris El Mizouni at Ipswich, in training, unbelievable.

DK: At the minute, including you, there's four or five level for top scorer, that must make it quite interesting?
CP: Yeah, obviously I'd like to have more, got high standards of myself, as obviously I've had chances in games and haven't taken them, but yeah obvious;y I'm happy to be up there. Hopefully more to come mate to be honest! I'd like to get more than five for the season.

DK: You must've been buzzing Wednesday, when you got the winner?
CP: Yeah, course, I said to the lad after the game I was annoyed about the first one, chopped in and smacked one against the post but happy to get the winner.

DK: With the FA Cup run now over, it must make it even more important that we're still in the County Cup?
CP: Yeah, the key to confidence is success and obviously we've been on a big winning streak, unfortunately it's ended today, but yeah we'll do everything we can to retain it. It's our Cup, we want to keep that way.

DK: Looking back quickly at today (the home defeat to Nuneaton), it was a bit of a gut wrenching one?
CP: Yeah, it was always going to be tough, first half it just wasn't good enough from our standards. Second half we was good, we didn't take chances, we had 3 or 4 maybe that we should've put in the back of the net, and they took their chances and we didn't, so that's the way football is. They scored 2 and we didn't score any, so it happens, but onto Tuesday, put it right.

DK: It's not acceptable, but do you get a bit of leeway given how we've started the season?
CP: Yeah, obviously we're all disappointed to lose to be honest, we have such high standards considering everyone can see how we can play, and how we have been playing. It's annoying to lose, because we felt that we was the better team, we're better than them, but their game plan worked out better than ours today, so it's just football. Things happen mate.
