Player Profile: Dan Gerrard
Date of birth
25/07/1980 Employment away from football Outsider Restaurant Previous Clubs Edinburgh University Joined Spartans 2005 Biggest influence in sport My primary school janitor Best celebration Players stripping to reveal female swimming costumes (I may have been involved). Best quote you’ve heard Any number from Mike on a Saturday afternoon. Strangest thing you’ve seen in football Sam trying to sub a player off for the opposition (and almost succeeding). The player had only recently been subbed on and was having a nightmare – his first contributions being to banjo as many of our players as possible. Cue Sam – “Right son, you’ve had enough. Off you come”. The confused looking player made a move towards the bench and only then realised that it was the cantankerous Mr Lynch instead of his own manager. Best and worst grounds Any number of American college grounds. Shale pitches in Glasgow. Best and worst singers Best: Jimmy Murray, Worst: Morrisey/The Smiths Changing room banter ‘I can see Deirdre now Lorraine has gone’ Best wind up The ‘Number 19′ game. Worst Dresser Mr Motivator. Worst superstition Donal’s ‘Lucky’ pants Best and worst goal you’ve seen My 35 yarder against Spartans at Peffermill. Any number of Ross Campbell’s last season. Best night out you’ve had The Spartans ‘Stars In Your Eyes’ night is certainly up there. Your favourite toy as a boy Thundercats Sword. Best and worst chat up line heard/used ‘Is that your feet I can smell? No? Must be your ***** then’. Worst team talk you’ve heard Sam’s ‘OK’ one. |
