Any odd items in your kit bag?
Nothing.

Who’s the biggest joker in the teams you play for? Rory Callaghan.

Who has the best looking other half?
I better say myself!

Who spends most time in front of the mirror in the dressing room?
Ryan McLaughlin and Caoimhin Marley.

Who has the best and who has the worst diet on the team, and what does it include?

Charlie Bonner would have the best diet. Christopher McMonagle has the worst. He eats burgers, kebabs and anything that’s going. Our manager, Aidy Glackin, wouldn’t be much better!

When you were playing in the back garden, who did you pretend to be?
Robbie Fowler.

If there was a transfer market who’d be in and who’d be out of the team?
