12.
Best Goal Scored
My only goal for the first team was against Peterbrough in the Cup. I sent the keeper the wrong way and then just went mad in celebration. Al got hold of me a shouted…"You look F***ing stupid!"
 
13.
Best Match and Why?
Arsenal, also in the Cup when Clarence Acuna and I were in central midfield. No one fancied us to do well, especially facing Viera. In a way that helped as there no pressure on us. I just went out in quite a relaxed, but determined mood. I really enjoyed the game, got in a few decent tackles and did OK with the ball. After being voted Man of the Match the only thing that spoiled an otherwise perfect day was the score - we'd only drawn 1-1 when we could, and should have won.
 
14.
Worst Match and Why?
I was playing for Newcastle in a Youth game against Sheffield Wednesday, we went 2-0 down after ten minutes and John Carver subbed me. I didn't feel I was any worse than the other lads, but it was me who came off. Not a good feeling!
 
15.
Funniest Football Incident?
This was a reserve game for Newcastle, Tommy Craig was making a substitution and the board went up with the number 2 to come off. David Burt was no.7 and started to walk off. We knew his eyes weren't that good but someone had to shout him back, we couldn't believe it!
 
16.
Do you have any match day superstitions?
I go to the toilette immediately before the start of the game, even if I don't feel I need to.
