Introducing . . . Dave Downing

Social Dave loves a chat, especially when you're grimly hanging onto a 1-0 lead and you have the temerity to make a substitution when the ball is on your own half. A great motivator, tackling machine and deceptively fast runner, he makes sure no-one falls asleep on the job.
Where I grew up Randalstown, N.Ireland.
My first soccer team Randalstown Primary School (legs that made chickens jealous).
My greatest soccer moment Winning the Navy Cup in 1993 - sliding tackle as opposition striker was about to score after going around our keeper when the score was at 1–1, went into extra time and we won 2-1.
WAGs name Kathryn, or her who must be obeyed.
KADs names Kids: Liam & Ian (see below). Dogs: Scooby & Sam.
That embarrassing childhood nickname I don’t want anyone to know was Daffy Duck or Curly…….I curled my hair after Kevin Keegan curled his in the late 1970s.
The nickname I’d choose for myself ‘Hansen’ after the greatest Liverpool defender in history.
My job Looking after our company's key accounts - or at least pretending that’s what I do.
My dream job Being paid to play and write editorials about newly released PS3 games - under the alias
of ‘Old Geek’.
My favourite footy team Liverpool! My uncle was a sports reporter for The Daily Mirror during the 70s & 80s and during one of Liverpool's triumphant FA Cup Finals he took me to have breakfast with the team before the game - crapped myself sitting with Kevin Keegan, Graeme Souness, Alan Hansen, Terry McDermott etc. I managed to say nothing which sounded anything like English.
My favourite (other) sport Golf but I'm not very good. Some of my original clubs are at the bottom of various water hazards, along with many balls.
My favourite sportsman (or woman) Well known Irish Olympic pole dancer ‘Kerry Anyway’
My favourite TV show Match of the Day, Saturday nights on BBC1. Best football round-up program ever broadcast.
Fave movie Top Gun (see below right)
Fave musician/band Creed or Altered Bridge
The song I like the most Simple Minds ‘Belfast Child’.

What I like to cook Indian & Asian food.
Last book I read Clive Cussler: all his books are good.
Quiet night in or big night out Quiet night in, BBQ with friends and plenty of cold beer, live game of football on the box.
Cheese or chocolate Chocolate, particularly the body chocolate you buy from…….oops!
Paris or Kylie Kylie. You wouldn’t have to teach her anything.
If I was a TV character I’d be Wonder Woman’s soap on a string.
If I was a type of fish I’d be ‘Flat Fish’ always on its belly.
My dream car is Black 1990s Ford Escort XR3.
If I had $10 million I’d give it to The people I know who’d enjoy spending it with me while having plenty of fun.
The best beer is Harp Larger
I’d like to be reincarnated as Someone who made a difference
What’s Cristiano Ronaldo got that I haven’t got Good looks, money, the ability to actual put the ball in the net. Did I say good looks.
Goalkeepers. Who needs ‘em Constantly combing their hair, looking for anyone with a camera, smiling at anything in a skirt, occasionally moving to save a shot while the rest of the team is running around like headless chickens - how does Peter do it!
Tell us a joke
