Martin Johnson — and not just because he’s the England manager and picks the team now!
What would you be if you weren't a sportsman?
I always thought I would go into physiotherapy or something else sport related.
Which other sportsman would you like to be?
if it was two years ago it would definitely be Tiger Woods but, perhaps, now it would be Rory McIlroy.
...And the worst moment?
It was in a Premiership match at Welford Road when I failed to finish off a certain try against London Irish. All I had to do was to fall over, but I lost control of the ball.
If your house was burning down, what one possession would you save?
I’d make sure everyone was out before saving my two dogs, Scampi and Rolo.
I'm still calling him Scamp, I don't care!
Most-listened to songs on your iPod?
Turn Around and Total Eclipse of the Heart by the Dan Band. I’m also listening
to Flogging Molly, an Irish-American punk band which Geordan Murphy (Leicester’s
Ireland full back) introduced me to.
Last film you saw?
Iron Man 2.
Last book you read?
I’m reading a non-fiction book at present — it’s about the survivors of Auschwitz.
Favourite pre-match meal?
The night before a match I often cook carbonara for anyone who wants to come along — usually Ben Youngs and Geordan Murphy.
BROMANCE! They probably tie each other's ties and fix each other's hair, tnawwww
Can you cook? Best dish?
I’m pretty good. Spaghetti carbonara is the dish.
Your favourite holiday destination?
Positano on the Amalfi coast in Italy. It’s gorgeous.
In a film of your life, who would play you?
I was told recently by Martin Bayfield, the ex-international and TV man, it would have to be Clint Eastwood.
What's the most expensive thing you ever bought?
I bought a 10-year-old Land Rover Defender — it’s very good for taking the dogs about.
Tell us a secret... Just one?
I got a GCSE for dancing when I was a member of the West Berkshire Dance Group studying contemporary and street dancing.
I thought we already knew this?

wow and I thought I'm the only one who knew Positano! (when I came back from my holiday there 2 summers ago, I was yapping my mouth about it and everyone around me just has this blank look on their face...in the end I had to substitute "southern Italy" rather than use Positano...) AND i totally always screw up carbonaras but it's my favourite dish...marry meeee Tom! I am totally cool with dogs sleeping on beds too!!!
