Off The Field
Celebrating Christmas this year: I usually go for a run on Xmas morning and New Years Day. I’ll spend a quiet Xmas with my family.
Best Christmas memories: 1966 and 2002 - England’s World Cup success years [England Learning Disability side won the World Cup in 2002]. I remember watching videos of the games before settling down with the family to listen to the Queens speech. Great times!
Favourite Christmas song: Silent Night sung by Luther Vandross.
New Year's resolutions: I will try to get the England LD staff members to lead a healthy lifestyle – as I do.
Where in the world would you'd most like to visit in the next year: Brazil.
If a film were to come out next year about your life, who would you like to play you? Denzel Washington with Lee Evans as my trusted side-kick Jeff Davis.
