If you were throwing a party and you could invite anyone in the world, dead or alive, who would you ask around? I would invite Donald Trump to a party.


Where do you like to go out to celebrate after a big victory?
I love to go out after a big victory to Roonies or if it was a really important game we’d probably go to Letterkenny.


What’s the worst pitch you’ve ever played on?
Worst pitch has to be Kilmac’s pitch. There’s more muck than grass on that pitch.


Which character in any film are you most like?
I’d say I’m most like Neil from the Inbetweeners because most of the time I haven’t a notion what’s going on around me.


Any odd items in your kit bag?
I have a pair of goggles in my kitbag for some reason.


Who’s the biggest joker in the team you play for?
Biggest joker on the Dunfanaghy team is probably assistant manager Dave Rutland even though most of the time we’re laughing at him.


Which team mate has the best looking other half?
None of the Dunfanaghy boys really have any women


Who spends most time in front of the mirror in the dressing room?
Krystian disco spends the most time in front of the mirror perfecting his hair style

Who’s the best/worst person to sit beside on the team bus? I’d say I’m probably the worst person to sit beside on the bus because no one likes my music and I’m always blaring it on the speaker

Who has the best and who has the worst diet on the team, and what does it include? Worst diet is probably my brother Carlos because he eats nothing but sweets.


Toughest opponent you have faced?
The toughest opponent I ever faced was the Hearts team in the Foyle Cup final when I was playing on the Donegal Schoolboys team. Some of the boys from that team that played against us play for the Hearts senior team now.


Best manager you’ve ever played under?
Couldn’t really decide the best manager I’ve played for a few good managers in soccer and gaelic.

Best ever performance? Best performance was probably for Donegal as well against Kilkenny. I came on just before half-time when we were 2-0 down and scored a goal and won the free for the other goal, but even after that, we still lost on penalties


One to forget?
Performance to forget was for PCC school team in the All-Ireland semi-final. We were up 2-0 with about twenty minutes left and ended up losing 3-2.


Sporting ambition?
My sporting ambition is probably to play football at a high level and maybe participate in the Paralympics as well


When you were playing in the back garden, who did you pretend to be?
I pretended I was Ronaldo because he was always my favourite player as I was a Man United fan

If you were in charge of transfers, who’d be in and who’d be out of the team? If I was in charge of transfers I don’t know who would be in but Dan Ferry would be out!
