Favourite TV show? Favourite TV show... Oh, at the moment, I've started getting into The Traitors on BBC iPlayer. I love that. Yeah, that's been class.

If you're going to be in any TV show or film, what would it be? I reckon it'd be Love Island because the birds will be all over me. It'd be a joke.

Not Traitors then? No, not Traitors, no. You wouldn't be a traitor? No, I could never do that. 

Favourite team? The Mighty Town.

Favourite player, current or former? For Ipswich, Mickey Stockwell. 

How would you describe yourself as a player? Just work hard and try and be selfless for the team, really, I guess. Just be there when I'm needed and help out when I can. That's about it, really.

What do you think you're known best for? Just being a handsome devil with loads of talent. That's about it, really. 

Do you have any footballing memorabilia? No, not really. No, I haven't collected anything over the years. Not really, no. I've kept my boots from Yeovil and I've kept the kit from Yeovil and that's it, really. That was quite a big moment for myself, so yeah.

What about Burton? Yeah, we got our FA Cup shirts back printed, so that was good. I mean, it took Kev about three years to get it, but yeah, it was all good. Only three years and it was only November the other year? Yeah, Kev took his sweet time about it.

Best player you've played with? Gavin Johnson. Yeah, he's unreal. 

What inspired you to play football? I played basketball.. I was a basketballer and then I met a guy at my basketball camp and he said he was going to start a football team and it was Kesgrave Under-11s, Kesgrave Kestrels, and I played for them because that was quite a new estate back then. Yeah, I went in goal and never looked back, really. Always a keeper, mate, but I showed a few of the lads on pitch how to do it at school and stuff. You know how it is, you know? That's how it is.
