Favourite Team and Player?

My favourite team is by far the mighty Aston Villa. What a time to be a Villa fan under Unai Emery. The Villa loves you more than you could know Unai. As for my favourite player it has to be Emi Martinez. He is the worlds number 1 after all.

Favourite Food?

Italian food. By far the best cuisine 

Number one pet peeve?

I dont know why but when speaking to someone and they don’t make eye contact and just look around or at the floor. 

Something people might be surprised to learn?

I spent two weeks travelling around the Bornean rainforest in Malaysia where I came into very close proximity to Orangutans and Crocodiles along with sleeping in hammocks in the middle of the rainforest.
