Which character in any film are you most like? Alan from the Hangover, absolute disaster on the beer.

Which team mate has the best looking other half? Denim, haven’t met her yet but apparently she’s unreal.

Who is the worst/best trainer? Worst has to be Calvin Bradley, hungover every Tuesday absolute disaster. Best probably Peader, rumour is that he has two lungs but can’t confirm.

Who spends most time in front of the mirror in the dressing room? Colm Melaugh/Denim Rowan.

Who’s the best/worst person to sit beside on the team bus? Best Calvin for way home, man always stops at a pub. Worst has to be Jack Bradley, always mad to get home to go to work.

Who has the best and who has the worst diet on the team, and what does it include? Best diet is definitely Damien Browne, don’t think he’s ate chocolate in his life. Worst is Pauric McMenamin, loves a chicken wrap before a game

Toughest opponent you have faced? There’s a few but Ryan Bradley from Buncrana was different level. He came on for last 10 minutes and scored 1-4.

Best manager you’ve ever played under? Martin “Willy” Wilson.

Best ever performance? Hard to pick because I haven’t had many. Probably Malin in championship last year wasn’t bad after two brutal performances in the two games before.

One to forget? Too many to name.

Sporting ambition? Win intermediate and play senior championship with Red Hughs.

When you were playing in the back garden, who did you pretend to be? Brendan Devenney, fancied myself as a forward but that didn’t last long.

If you were in charge of transfers, who’d be in and who’d be out of the team? Out would be Oddie, can’t get him to train… In would be Declan Coulter, man reckons he’s best footballer in the Cross.
