| Richard, How did you start playing rugby? When I started secondary school I met Will
Shaylor, I was playing football for Glossop
back then I was only 11 and I didn’t know any better. I was soon convinced
to try rugby being helped by the fact that my Grandfather had captained
Tell us something about your rugby career,
which clubs you have played for and what holds for the future? I have always played for Glossop and wouldn’t
ever want to play for another club. We had a very good colts side and
got through to the last 16 in a national cup. I have
also played in and won a couple of finals with the First and Second
team. What is your occupation? Tell us something
about it. I work for a Training Company Based in Salford
Quays I spend most of my time on the road which means I can’t always
make training which sucks, but I love my job and enjoy meeting new people.
Have you any match day superstitions? No not really nothing that I can think of,
apart from drinking a bottle of Lucazade but
that’s just a last ditched attempt to give me some energy. Any other sporting achievements? I used to play a lot Tennis when I was at
school and used to play for Glossop I was national ranked for a short
time but start a full time job stopped me playing. I didn’t want to
give up my rugby it means a lot to me. Do you play any other sports or have any
other pastimes. I some time play squash with a few of the
other lads and its good for fitness but we don’t play enough. I enjoy
playing any sport apart from Cricket I’d rather watch paint dry.
What’s
your biggest ever disaster during a game, if you have ever had one,
any amusing on pitch or other rugby incidents
that you would like to recall for us? No disaster apart from my tackling can be
shocking. On tour in It’s our round, what do you fancy? Larger Larger and
more larger and a pint of cool crisp cider to wash it down maybe a cheeky
Vimto Who is your favourite pin-up-girl ? The female body is not there for gawping
at only joking Jessica Alba is hot, Jessica Simpson do you need me to carry
on. Who would play you in the film version of
your life? Someone just as good lucking as me a cross
between Peter Kay and Jonny Vagas!!!! Or Nicolas Cage (gone in 60 seconds great
film) What would be your theme song? The Theme tune to The A
Team, a classic old school TV show which could never be repeated I love
it when a plan comes together. Your fantasy career? It would have to be something to do with
Driving an F1 driver or a rally driver the new Colin McCray or Michael
Schumacher just not German a Welsh one. How would you blow £50,000 I would probably be Mr sensible and pay some
debts off so I can enjoy the money I earn and have a nice life style
but if I didn’t have debts I buy a sports car of some sort. If you could own any car what would it
be? The Porsche from bad boys 1 and the cobra
in it, but I think I would have to go with Eleanor from Gone in 60 seconds
a ford Mustang GT500 a sexy car. What would be your three desert island
books be? Lord of the Rings and Chris Moyle’s, both of his books I love his show on radio one
and enjoyed all the books mentioned the first time round. What are your three all time favourite music
tracks (and who by)? Eye of the tiger from rocky,
Meat loaf bat out of hell and the Who pinball wizard. What would be your ideal holiday? Going back to NZ for some action packed sport
and thrills then to the If you were on a long flight who would you most like to sit next to and have a good long
chat? Apart from Mandi
the wife to be I would probably say my grandfather I was nine when he
died and I would like to talk rugby with him and hear his rugby stories Thank you Richard, Tim Hopkins Web Master |
