Introducing . . . Kevan Silver

The Hogs Number 8 likes fast cars, big bikes, Tottenham Hotspur, gaspers and scoring goals. He got a few last season and has been itching to get back amongst them from his viewpoint as JAAS goalkeeper in the summer sevens. In the first of a series aimed at helping us get to know our teammates, Kev opens up on sci-fi, the Hodfather and why soccer is a rubbish name for a sport.

Where I grew up
London
My first soccer team
That would be "football" - as in predominantly you use your FOOT to propel a BALL. "Soccer" bah! Tottenham. Or that I played for? Fryent primary school. Difference in ability between the two sides? Not a lot!
My greatest football moment
Hard to choose between the '84 UEFA Cup Final and the '81 FA Cup Final - or scoring the winner in the 2003 MWSA Grand Final for Mosman
WAGs (wives and girlfriends) name
Lynelle
KADs (kids and dogs) names
A very sick cat that is currently running up HUGE vet bills, it's imaginatively called...."Cat"
- no kids that I know of, but having said that, I have moved countries a lot!

"I’D LIKE TO BE REINCARNATED AS A VERY WEALTHY,
STUNNINGLY ATTRACTIVE LESBIAN"

That embarrassing childhood nickname I don’t want anyone to know was
Spaceman - don't ask! It didn't stick.
The nickname I’d choose for myself
I'm not that vain.
My job
Systems Analyst.
My dream job
Hugh Heffner's assistant
My favourite footy team (and why)
Tottenham - Dad took me to White Hart Lane aged 5 - can't change your team regardless of how poor they are!
My favourite (other) sport
Superbikes/MotoGP, but I'll watch practically any sport with the exception of swimming and thugby league.
My favourite sportsman (or woman)
Glenn Hoddle.
My favourite TV show
The Bill, or any Star Trek except Deep Space Nine
Fave movie
Comedy: Life of Brian
Drama: 12 Angry Men

What I like to cook
SpagBol - NO you’re not invited - but your missus is!
Last book I read and was it any good
"Welcome To Hell: An Irishman's Fight For Life Inside The Bangkok Hilton" by Colin Martin.
Horror story of a man wrongfully sentenced to time in a Thai prison. Personally I didn't think he made you empathise with his plight, but it's not too bad a read.
Quiet night in or big night out

Depends on my mood.
Cheese or chocolate
Chocolate.
Paris or Kylie
Neither - unless I can have both at the same time? Nah - still think I'd pass ... hmmm... they both have lots of money though . . .
If I was a TV character I’d be
Dr Who.
If I was a type of fish I’d be
Babel fish - I tend to talk rubbish as it is!
My dream car is
Lotus Esprit.
If I had $10 million I’d give it to
50% to the taxman no doubt!
The best beer is
Wadworth 6X - closely followed by Newcastle Brown, Fullers ESB, Flowers IPA, Marsdens Pedigree. The only really bad thing about Australia is that you can't get Wadworths here :(
I’d like to be reincarnated as
A very wealthy, stunningly attractive lesbian
What’s Cristiano Ronaldo got, that I haven’t got
Diving skills.

Goalkeepers. Who needs 'em
The Jim Allen All Stars
Go on, tell us a joke
A man walks into a bar and says "ouch".

Thanks for going first, Kev. Ok guys all aboard - we need to find the big man a new nickname.
