Tell us THREE things about yourself that we wouldn't know.
BUT, TWO of these should be true,
but ONE should be totally made up: 		1. I made many 1st team appearences (over a number of seasons) for Newcastle United and West Ham United.
2. I was once David Bowie's bodyguard.
3. I've run the London Marathon.
