Team? Manchester United
Favourite player? Nemanja Vidic - I don't do flash and I'm a centre half myself so I love our big Serbian
What kind of football supporter are you? I get very nervous sometimes. I spent most of the 2nd leg of the Barcelona semi final rocking back and forth in my chair through nerves . I also like to shout!
Best football memory? Winning the league title for the first time in my lifetime. Aston Villa lost on the Sunday, so the Monday night game at Old Trafford against Blackburn was one big party. Unbelievable!
First live football match? My dad took me to Bradford against Hartlepool in Division Four when I was four. I don't remember much about it. My first United match was Wolves at home in 1981. I went for my 8th birthday. Sammy McIlroy got a hat trick and Bryan Robson signed on the pitch.
Favourite half time pie filling? I don't buy half time stuff. Have you seen how expensive it all is? At the cup final last year it was 4 quid for a box of maltesers.
Best International Match? Holland against the Czech Republic at Euro 2004 was a superb game of football. The quality wasn't as good in the Germany/Italy World Cup semi final in 2006, but the match was so tense and Lippi's tactics were spot on.
Tip for Euro 2008 Champions? Italy. Their strength in depth is astonishing - striker wise Roberto Donadoni can choose from Toni, Quagliarella, Di Natale, Boriello, Del Piero, Cassano and Iaquinta. Here in England we struggle to find 2 strikers good enough.
Tip for Golden Boot winner? David Villa
And why? He scores a lot of goals!
