Dressing Room Insight!
For me personally despite the bad result at Wycombe it was a great day! Being probably the oldest mascot ever (40th Birthday celebrations and all that) it was a real priviledge to spend about 20 minutes with the lads in the dressing room before the kick-off. Here are some secrets/personality traits fron "behind the door":-
First observation is how cramped everything is in the dressing room especially as a few of the players like to do warm-up exercises (in the shower area!) before the game as evidenced here by BBB doing sit-ups/stretches
Lloydie (complete with massive gold necklace) uses a weird bit of pink/purple elastic to do arm/shoulder exercises and he seems always to be smiling!
Other observations:-
Darren Powell spends an inordinate amount of time on the bog.....then when abused by fellow players threatens (in jest) to stab them!
Close up Sidwell looks as though he has got a bad case of jaundice....I've never seen anyone who looks so yellow.
BBB leaves it to the last minute before changing into his kit.
The ghetto blaster plays really loud unidentifiable black music.
Although I didn't get to speak to all the players a big thank you to all of the following for being bloody nice blokes....
Gibbo (Top bloke)
Steve Coppell (for making me feel welcome)
Oli, Ben and Evo.
The funniest moment was leading the team out onto the pitch when any latecomers would have been expecting Evo to run out first, instead this sight met their eyes............
....to which a mate told me later that someone behind him stood up and declared "who the fecking hell is that".
