This week first team goalkeeper John McIlwaine tells Rob all about the dressing room music tastes…or lack of them
Who controls the music in the dressing room?
That would be any one who doesn't mind using up their mobile phone data as we stream tunes from the internet… usually Danny Hewitt. He's taken Malam on board this season to carry the speakers to away games.
Do you have an regular tunes that you listen to before matches?
Recently we’ve been opting for different dance music mixes from the Soundcloud website. It’salways something upbeat to get us going. It makes a change as before that we had the same CD every week for two years.
Who is the squad’s biggest muso?
Tough one but I reckon Haggis (assistant manager). He seems to have been to see all kinds of bands at all kinds of places. He’s also probably the last guy you'd think who loves rap legends Cypress Hill.
Who has the worst taste in music?
Another tough one. While there’s always dodgy stuff coming out of Tom Murray and Brandon's earphones, I’d have to say Kiarno. He strikes me as a Pitbull and Will.i.am kind of guy.
Are there any musicians in the squad?
The only ones I know of is our gaffer, Gibbo. He reckons he taught himself to play the guitar. Oh and apparently Jonny Hardy is good with the triangle.
Who would win in an Abbey karaoke competition?
The best singer, Sam Jones, isn't with us anymore.He gets a bit carried away. A competition between Baz (Walker) Gibbo, Sam and Yarwood would be good. Yarwood reckons he's got a bit of Ed Sheeranin his locker. I think he means his barnet. The best bit of karaoke there has been in my time at Abbey was when we all sang Bob Marley Could You Be Loved in memory of our late former teammate Lowen Douglas at the Christmas party.
