So what do you to relax when you're not playing football? I've started playing quite a bit of golf recently. I've found that quite relaxing, just walking around the golf course. I'm starting to get a bit better at it now. Were you taken with the Ryder Cup recently? Yeah I watched a bit of that. I kept my eye on it. I think it's definitely better to play than to watch though. Who do you model your game on? Nobody! I'm not good enough to model my game on anyone yet! Who do you room with on away trips? I normally room with Jacko but he's been injured for the last few so I've been rooming with Big Mo! If there's a single bed and a double bed then I have to get in the single one. He's a big lad! If you hadn't become a professional footballer, what do you think you would have done? I think I probably would have trained and gone in the forces - or become a policeman or fireman. Something like that I reckon. What sort of music do you listen to? I've got quite a mixture. I don't dislike anything really, I like a bit of everything. What's on your car stereo at the moment? A little bit or R 'n' B, a bit of Coldplay. Nothing major. What films have you been watching lately? Oh we've got quite a lot of them. We watch them on away trips. So you've all got your own personal DVD players to watch on the trips now? Yeah I think a lot of the lads have them. It's for the long drives. You get bored sometimes so it's nice to relax for a couple of hours and watch a film or something. Who's got the worst fashion sense at Derby? Paul Boertien! I think I'm only saying that because he's my mate. He's not the best sometimes! But I think his missus has sorted him out now - she's dressing him a bit better. And who plays his music the loudest in the changing rooms? Doyley always has a bit of music on during away trips. He brings his DVD player along and plays a bit of music so I'd have to say him. What do you watch on TV? I like to watch Friends when it's on. That's always a good one. And which newspapers do you read? I don't read newspapers. I've never really paid too much attention to them. Favourite holiday destination? Somewhere that's not too far away because I don't really like travelling. We went to the Dominican Republic a couple of years ago and it rained for ten days out of 14 - we may as well have been in Grimsby! What was the last concert you went to? I've never been to a concert! Not one! I did go to the theatre in London to watch Saturday Night Fever with my missus though. Where did you meet your girlfriend? Back in Hull. I've known her eight years now so we've been together for quite a long time. Favourite tipple? Jack Daniels and Coke. Your brother plays too doesn't he? Yeah. He's in non-league at the moment. He was at Grimsby last season but he's at Ossett Town now. And finally....what's your favourite goal you've scored? There's not many to choose from! I would say my second one against Grimsby because it was against my brother's team at the time and it was live on Sky. So I'd have to say that one. Interview with BBC Radio Derby's Colin Gibson. |
