what is your earliest memory?
Watching my first ever live football game – Bristol City beat Sunderland 2-0 (sorry Graham!)

how do you relax?
Playing sport – rugby, football, squash...and listening to music.

what is your guiltiest pleasure?
Reading my wife’s tacky celebrity magazines.

what is the funniest practical joke you have played?
It wasn’t meant to be a practical joke but a mate and I bought some hair clippers and used to cut each other’s hair. I forgot to put the guard on and cut a bald strip right down the middle of his head. I had to shave all his hair off to try and make it look better. To make it worse he had a blind date that night (which was, not surprisingly, unsuccessful!).

what crazy activities do you dream of trying someday?
B.A.S.E. jumping – I’ve done a bungee and a parachute jump so have the basic skills!

who would you cast to play you in a film?
Bert from Sesame Street or Buzz Lightyear.

if you could travel anywhere in the world where would it be?
Back to Brazil (where my Dad was born).

if you could have three wishes what would they be?
1. Bristol City to win the Premiership.
2. Gloucestershire to win the County Championship.
3. Bristol to win the Heineken Cup!

what is your favourite film?
It has to be...City of God.

what is your favourite song/band/style of music?
Bands around at the moment – Hold Steady, Chuck Prophet, Tragically Hip...and a few that aren’t around any more...Go Betweens, Green on Red and XTC!
