Other than the football club, what is the best thing in Watford?

The people, especially the club's supporters. I'm so pleased that they are able to share in the football club's success.

What was your first trophy?

A five-a-side competition winners trophy which took place at Codnor carnival in the under-11 section. I was eight years old at the time, playing for Codnor boys.

What is the worst mistake you have made?

Waiting too long before trying to get a loan move from Derby County.

Which is the best league in the world?

The English Premier League.

What's your drinking style: champagne cocktails or lager and lime?

Neither of those - Guinness or red wine would be my preferred beverage.

What is your favourite Eurovision hit?

Bosnia-Herzegovina's entry at this year's competition sounded a bit like Massive Attack.

What do you do away from football?

I enjoy a day at the horse races, play golf, listen to a lot of music and I am also studying a business management course.

How much did you drink last Monday?

Not nearly as much as we deserved to!

Who will win Wimbledon?

Krajicek to beat Ivanisevic in the final.

Do you own any Elton John records?

No, but my fiance, Fiona, does.

What is the worst place in the world?

Dominican Republic. We visited on holiday in 1997 and got caught up in a riot. Scary!

What are your predictions for next year?

1. Prince to be Christmas No 1 with "1999".

2. Watford to have no relegation worries at the end of the season.

3 Premier League winners: Manchester United. First Division: Nottingham Forest; Second Division : Preston; Third Division: Carlisle!
