It was constant football, football, football. Just dedicated. Everything I did was related to football. I had a plan and a dream to be a professional footballer whether that was at Liverpool or not. So I didn't plan for anything else as I was so focused on my number one dream. Year 10 or 11, I was told I was going to be released. To be honest that was probably the first heartbreak I've ever gone through. I can remember going back to the changing rooms and just bursting into tears. It felt like everything you had worked for, everything you had sacrificed, in that moment it genuinely felt like it had all been taken away from you and there was nothing left. I don't think unless you've lived it you truly understand it. I get passed jokes so many times, 'Oh you used to play for Liverpool and now you're doing this'. People pass judgement and they can't think how such a comment like that can actually affect someone. My industry it's sewers, it's drainage so you do get a lot of those side jokes and it's light-hearted, people doesn't think it affects you, but it takes effect. It makes you feel like you are worthless or you should be doing better.

Do you like any celebrities who is out of all your tops, but you still respect them? Who are they, if it's not a secret?
It sounds rediculous, but I have top 10 of outtops :)
1. Daisy May Cooper
Some people don’t like her on Never Mind The Buzzcocks. Me too. Although she’s a cute girl, looks very vivid. But you know what? She’s actually very nice person. I’m following her on instagram for a long time, but only recently watched her account. She’s extremely different from TV! She can make quite useful stuff! She isn’t silly! For example, I remember she made a reel where she loudly says “No” This video was for the case if your self anxiety tries to get you, just say NO! It’s actually works! And I have noticed in some shows that she calms down people when they get nervous. Quite possibly that she’s a psychologist. I respect this people!
2. Oasis/Gallagher Brothers
2 beautiful men having great vocals. This band is one of the first when I started my interests to Brit Pop and indie music :)
3. Vic & Bob
I genually thank this couple for Slade, at least now I know who they were :D Also thank the for the Shooting Stars! In addition to sketches, it is worth to note how much funny they are apart. Bob Mortimer is an example of this on any show. It's really impossible to listen to him without a smile, he's just an incredibly crazy and funny person. He's crazy stories always killing ;D What can I say about Vic Reeves. I don't see him on the shows so much as Bob, but I think he's not worse than him at all. And both they are power!
4. Ant & Dec
Oh, this men! :) Some people know them as singers, but I know them as crazy and funny showmen. Their pranks are awesome, always laughing watching them in youtube. Their laugh make me laughing also, so genuine and contagious and they staing beautiful ;D
5. Stephen Mangan
It's hard for me to call myself his fan. But there is something attractive about this guy. I don't even know. Probably some charisma, personality. I like him being on the shows :)
6. Morgana Robertson
I found out about her in Taskmaster. She reminds me Noel a bit. She also plays different characters and doing different voices. She has beautiful big eyes and her smile makes her wobderful. Also loves giggling, smiling, laughing and being adorable :)
7. James Acaster
He became my favourite when firstly debuted as a member in NMTB. He was on the top for the ages. But now he isn’t. Yeah, I still watch the shows with he’s partition. But after his jokes in new NMTB about Noel who couldn’t be there for some reason, he was out. Probably, he joked, but I found it quite mean. I watched this episode with sad feeling that I was deeply disappointed in him. I doubt that he’ll ever be on my top 20 again. Only out of the tops.
8. Michael Patrick Kelly
The only celeb who is almost not English speaking and I like him. He is an Irish-America singer, musician and composer. Speaks mostly German. Kelly was born in Dublin. He came to fame as the third-youngest member of the pop and folk band The Kelly Family. He was well known as one of the main and popular members in the family band (Paddy at this period) After the band he still gorgeous and having a beautiful voice with the light accent.
9. Katherine Ryan
The most bitchy celebrity I know. She is beautiful and at the same time quite harsh. I respect her for being drop dead gorgeous. And her humor is nice ;) Thanks Mock The Week for let me find out about her more :)
10. Jonathan Sprague
Was The Jon in Steam Powered Giraffe. This band is a pantomime music project, something like steam punk clowns. Jon was a silly doll with cylinder hat. But after leaving the band he become a normal guy. And he is the most straight character of all the members of his band. And I think he looks beautiful :)
