CRAIG NOONE - Q&A
Wed Sep 10, 2014 7:32 am
Cardiff City icon Craig Noone talks Steven Gerrard, Tesco and Michael Jackson in the quirkiest Q&A so far this season .
Do you want to know what Cardiff City star Craig Noone gets up to when he's not on the pitch. Steve Tucker holds up Nooney's shopping trip to Tesco to find out what makes him tick.
Thrilling wideman Craig Noone is back, fighting fit and hoping to put the frighteners on Norwich this weekend.
And ahead of that clash, Steve Tucker caught up with the Cardiff City fans' favourite to talk Michael Jackson, shopping in Tesco and why the roof on Stevie Gerrard’s house is simply the best.
ST: Hi Craig, how are you?
CN: Really good. Fit and raring to go.
ST: Great. Cardiff fans will be pleased. OK, now who has been the biggest influence on your life?
CN: That would have to be my family. My mum and my dad and a lot of my friends too.
ST: If you weren’t Craig Noone, which player would you like to be?
Stevie G of course! Or maybe Messi or Ronaldo. Not bad players those guys.
ST: If you weren’t a footballer, what would you do for a living?
CN: I’ve already been a roofer and I worked on the building sites until I was 20. But if I wasn’t a player it would still have to be in football. Maybe a coach or a kit-man even. I just love football.
ST: Is Stevie G’s house nicer than yours?
CN: Definitely. It’s got a better roof on it for a start because I put it on. Someone else put the roof on my house.
ST: Who is the best player you have ever played with?
CN: Vicente Rodriguez at Brighton. Class.
ST: Which Cardiff player were you most sad to see leave this summer?
CN: There were a few, but it would have to be Mark Hudson. He’s not just a friend and a teammate, but a leader too.
ST: Who is your best friend in football?
CN: Dale White. He plays for Droylsden at the moment.
ST: Tell us something we don’t know about you?
CN: When I finish answering these questions I’m going shopping in Tesco. I’m going to go to the cheese aisle. Do you want anything?
ST: What is your biggest regret in life?
CN: Not eating all my dinners when I was a kid. I kept getting released by clubs because I was too small and skinny.
ST: Describe yourself in three words?
CN: Kind. Outgoing. Deep. Is that four?
ST: What is your party trick?
CN: I’ve got loads, but it has to be my singing and dancing skills. My favourite? Michael Jackson. When I hear that I’m on my feet.
ST: What do you most like to do away from football?
CN: I love my boxing. I like watching it when I can and doing boxing training. I like napping in the afternoons too.
ST: Brilliant. Thank you Craig.
CN: You’re welcome. Are you sure you don’t want anything in Tesco?
