NAME:
Ronnie Anderton
PREVIOUS CLUBS:
Wasn't a member of any clubs in my younger days, wasn't good enough. Odiaxere really scraping the barrel letting me in 😂
CHILDHOOD CRUSH:
Debbie Harry........oooohhhh !
I was envious of my mate who had her poster on his bedroom wall - I had Billy Bremner and Mick Jones (didn't quite have the same effect)
FAVOURITE PROFESSIONAL PLAYER OF ALL TIME:
Gary Speed - what a player !
I was devastated when I heard the news
FAVOURITE ODIAXERE CLUB PLAYER:
That's a tricky one ! So many good players, but if I have to pick one (I'll go for longevity's sake) Tom Wilson......if I'm still playing at his age I'll be extremely happy.
MOST DIFFICULT ODIAXERE CLUB OPPONENT:
Dave Waller 😂
Oh, you mean a player ?
John Swires (he knows why)
MOST MEMORABLE MATCH:
Southampton v Leeds at the old Dell, can't remember what year but half time, Southampton lead 3-0 (game over ?)
Leeds come back to win 3-4
I was in the Southampton crowd ..... sitting on my hands trying not to jump up.
BIGGEST THRILL:
Racing motorbikes.
I started racing bikes when I was 19, retired at 24 (luckily still in one piece).
Strangely, I've had more broken bones since I stopped racing !
JOHN LENNON OR PAUL McCARTNEY:
John Lennon - I was in New York about 15 years ago and visited the Strawberry Fields memorial to him in Central Park opposite the Dakota building.
OASIS OR BLUR:
Nope, not really into either of them.
My influences were Genesis, 10cc, Alice Cooper, Dire Straits, Queen, The Police, Thin Lizzy......
BIGGEST DISAPPOINTMENT:
Leading Carrowdore 100 road race by a country mile only for engine problems to rob me of the win.
BEST COUNTRY VISITED:
Portugal of course, love the Algarve and the west coast. Portuguese people so friendly.
Though China was amazing but I wouldn't want to live there.
FAVOURITE FOOD:
Thai - and anything my wife cooks for me.
(If she sees this I could be in trouble for saying Thai first) ...... oops 😬
FAVOURITE PORTUGUESE FOOD:
Grilled fish .....I had a local fish once called a trigger fish - beautiful, but each time I've been back to the same restaurant they haven't had it.
FAVOURITE DRINK:
Hard to beat a nice cup of tea, not too strong, milk, no sugar......if you're putting a brew on I'm partial to a few chocolate biscuits 😉
MISCELLANEOUS LIKES:
Football (obviously), Motorbike Racing, Music (especially live), Walks by the sea.
Time spent with my grandchildren, they say and do the funniest things 🤣
MISCELLANEOUS DISLIKES:
Rude people, dog s**t, litter,
British Winters !
Food wise, liver - hate liver
FAVOURITE TV SHOW:
Ted Lasso - best TV ever
FAVOURITE FILM:
Marvellous - Toby Jones is brilliant
FAVOURITE SINGER:
Freddie Mercury - who could forget that Live Aid performance !
WHAT ONE ITEM WOULD YOU TAKE WITH YOU TO A DESERT ISLAND:
Solar powered radio
WHICH ONE PERSON IN THE WORLD WOULD YOU MOST LIKE TO MEET:
They say you shouldn't meet your heroes......I've already briefly met a few of mine: Billy Bremner, Allan Clarke, Joey Dunlop, Jonathan Rea.......but the bottom line is, they're just normal people.
I'm happiest meeting up and spending time with friends and family.
