1. We all have a good and dark side to us (some more dark than good I might say), which super hero and super villain best matches your good and dark sides and why?

The super hero I would be is Inspector Gadget as he had some cool gadgets to play with and it wouldn’t matter how incompetent I was there would be 2 kids and a dog who would come in and solve it all for me.

The villain would be Hugo A Go Go from Batfink. Reasons being that I’d quite enjoy plotting world domination from his lair and engineering strange things to try and beat that sneak Batfink with his wings of steel. One bonus is that whenever I got caught I would always seem to escape going to Jail like Hugo A Go Go did.

2. As the most regular non-leeds supporter on the board, what is it about the rebels that makes you stick with us?

Well its probably because the message board isn’t just about football and it has far more to offer than just talk about Leeds United.

What keeps me the most regular is probably all the fibre I have in my diet

3. If you could have one ex or current (lol) Leeds United player playing for Villa who would you choose and why?

I’m only going to pick from players within my lifetime and although he’s probably not the most popular person amongst Leeds fans it has to be Cantona. The reason why is very simple because he is just an absolutely fantastic player, and If I could specify when he was playing for us I would want it to be back when he left Leeds. That season we finished second in the league and although he might not have been responsible entirely for the 10 point gap at the end of the season he would have been a big part of it.

4. What are your 10 chosen tracks for the Now That’s What I Call Ranying 2007 CD?

Bruce Springsteen – Hungry Heart
Thunderclap Newman – Something In The Air
Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers – Last DJ
Weezer – Buddy Holly
The Pixies – Debaser
Goo Goo Dolls – Iris
The Smiths – There Is A Light That Never Goes Out
Joy Division – Love Will Tear Us Apart
Lemonheads – Rudderless
Echo and The Bunnymen – Killing Moon

5. You are locked in a room. There are no windows, just four walls and a locked door. All you have is a jar of ghee, the latest copy of Now That’s What I Call Ranying and a Curly Wurly. Using only those things how do you get out of the room?

Firstly I’d eat the curly wurly then seeing as the room doesn’t have a ceiling I’d climb over one of the walls

6. Okay time for the regular question……tell us three things about yourself that the rebels don’t know about you.

When I was nine years old I Appeared on the Saturday morning childrens TV show Top Banana singing a song called Crazy Little Moon Men.

I don’t have complete feeling in two of the fingers on my left hand after I burnt them when I accidentally set fire to my 1989/90 Season Pannini sticker album.

I lived the first 3 years of my life on a small island in the middle of the Pacific called Tarawa

7. You’ve been on your annual sailing trip up Scotland this year. When was the first time you started sailing and what is it that you really like about it?

I probably first went in a sailing boat when I was about 4 years old. I learnt to sail properly when I was 8 years old in a little 8ft dinghy called an optimist. I didn’t really do much sailing for about the next 4 years as I was more interested in playing football. When my Sunday league football team ended up folding when I was 12 I started sailing a type of boat called an enterprise with my dad. That was ok for a while but as both of us would want to helm it was pretty inevitable that we would end up with 2 single handed boats. That’s when I started to sail Lasers which is one of the types of boat that is used for the Olympic sailing events. I actually became quite good in that class and had some reasonable results at national championships probably the best of which was my 2nd place at the 1998 National Schools Sailing Championship. Over the last five years or so I haven’t really sailed much in dinghys, I still do some coaching and have helped 3 lads at the sailing club get into the regional junior squad this year. More recently I have been sailing on larger yachts and have really enjoyed that as there is a lot more involved on a technical side. The best things about the sailing are that in the dinghy classes the racing is very competitive and you would always have to really fight hard for every single position in every race. With sailing offshore yachts the best thing is that you can pretty much go anywhere you feel like it. Had the weather forecast been more favourable this year we would have actually sailed across from Scotland to Ireland.

8. Santa has decided this year that you can have one of a possible two pressies. Aston Villa can win the Premiership next season OR England can win the Euro 2008. You may only have one, which would you pick?

Very simple one this and its Villa to win the Premiership

9. Have you ever broken the law? And if so please list what it was you did below

Yes I got a 15 month ban for drink driving about 3 years ago.
Do you also want the times that I’ve broken the law and haven’t been Caught?

10. You are quite knowledgeable when it comes to horse racing. When and why did your interest first start for this and have you ever been or wanted to go to any of the major horse racing events?

It mostly came about from the fact that I would just watch any sport on TV when I was a child and Horse racing was one of my favourites out of those that was on quite regularly and its just sort of carried on from there. As I got older and realised I could win (and lose) money on it and I suppose it had a different angle to it with trying to beat the bookmaker.

I’ve been to Royal Ascot a few times but its not really my thing having to be dressed up to go to a sporting event and so didn’t really enjoy it that much. I also went to the Eclipse Meeting at Sandown when I was working for Corals as they are the Sponsors of the Eclipse Stakes.

I think plying me with booze in a dodgy Brum niteclub should be regarded as breaking the law.....
