Author: Unknown - Fri 3 Feb 06Website roving reporter Lauren Hall braved a freezing Thursday night to wait for Blackie to come out of the shower and put a few rumours to rest...or not as the case may be!
Q: What's the best thing about being at Stalybridge?A: "The fans are great, and the ground itself is superb. The carpark's not bad either, so if you see a caravan on it then that'll be me!"
Q: And the worst?A: "Oh that has to be Syke-o's banter. He's got the strangest sense of humour I've ever come across"
Q: Who's the best player you've played alongside?A: "There's that many Lauren, but if I had to pick one it would be Craig Hignett"
Q: Have you got anything to say about what some of the players have been saying about you wearing lipstick?A: "Yeah it's all true. I like to dress up as Pete Burns on my days off".
Q: What's your favourite song at the moment?A: "The Ordinary Boys, boys will be boys".
Q: What would you be if you weren't a footballer?A: "I'd be a cross-dressing gipsy".
Q: Who's got the worst fashion sense in the dressing room?A: "That's got to be Nick Buxton with his fake Burberry".
Q: Do you think we can go all the way in the F A Trophy?A: "Yes of course...as long as I'm in the team!"
Q: Now you've got your place back in the side what are you going to do to keep it?A: "I'm just going to work hard and learn from everything the coach tells me".
Q: Who takes the longest in the shower?A: "I bet after keeping you waiting you think it's me don't you? I'd have to say Lee Ellington though. He's the only footballer I know who carries a hairdryer!"
Q: Are you looking forward to going to Salisbury?A: "I'm looking forward to the game but not to the travelling".
Q: Tea or coffee?A: "Definitely coffee"
Q: Salad or chips?A: "Anyone who's said salad has to be having you on! Chips"
Q: Quiet night in or night out with the lads?A: "I like a quiet night in"
Q: Stalybridge or Harrogate?A: "Stalyvegas every time"
