• Club you support:  Swansea City

• Favourite Wales Away trip: Ireland or Serbia. Hard to pick a favourite. Belgrade is an incredible place, highly recommended. 

• Favourite Wales away memory: Where to start? Witnessing Josh cheese and beans defying all laws of biology and common sense drinking 93 pints in 4 days in Dublin.  Ceri Collins and myself also nearly run over Tomi Caws in a taxi that same trip, just after Kevin Kilbane called me out in the street for having a shit pair of shorts. 

• Favourite all time player: My fellow Ysgol Y Preseli alumnus, the messiah, Joe Allen. Cofia ddysgu byw!

• One essential Wales away item: Next of kin details kept up to date and a hotel with air conditioning. 

• Favourite band:  Oasis

• Bands we should be listening to: Adwaith. Welsh music is in safe hands with bands like this! 

• One surprising fact about you: After sumping my body weight in Stella at a Wales friendly against Northern Ireland in Cardiff, semi consciously I miraculously made the final cut of the music video for the Manics Euro 2016 song ‘Together Stronger’. Music career started and bloody ended that night in the Canton!
