Defender Mickey Bell

Spotlight: Mickey Bell

What do you do on your day off?

Spend it with my family and have the occasional game of golf. I enjoy playing, and my handicap is 18 so I'm a bit of a bandit.

Who is the player in your position you admire most?

I think it's got to be Zambrotta of Italy. He can bomb forward and he's a good defender. I'd say he's probably the best full back in the world at the moment.

What was your first hobby?

Mickey Bell in action

Playing football. Straight after school I'd go to a field near my house and play with my mates.

Which phrase or word do you use most?

Mate. My wife had a go at me the other day. I was on the phone and she said I used the word 'mate' about 30 times in one conversation.

Who was the last band or singer you saw live?

Madonna at Wembley. It was a good gig.

Who would your dream date be?

Should say my wife really shouldn't I? Actually, she might read this, so I'll be diplomatic and it's her!

If you could swap places with another sports star, who would it be?

Phil Mickelson. He's my favourite golfer and if I were to play another sport professionally, it would have to be golf.

What single thing would improve your quality of life?

It would be nice to win the lottery!
