IN our second www.wba.co.uk feature for the 2009/10 season we're asking the players, coaching staff and former players what has inspired them in their lives and in football.

We get up close and personal with Roberto Di Matteo's men every Thursday in 'My Inspirations'.

This week we chat to young Welsh midfielder Josh Knight.

Q1. Which teacher?

JK: Mr Lockett, my PE teacher at Gowerton School in Swansea. He was always big on the football scene and we always used to do extra football work after school. He really pushed us to try and do the best we could.

Q2. Which song?

JK: I haven't got a favourite or inspirational song. I just put my iPod on shuffle and see what comes on!

Q3. Which person outside of football as a teenager?

JK: My parents, Paul and Julie. They drove me around to matches and back and forth to Birmingham, and have been very supportive of me.

Q4. Which coach as a youth team player?

JK: Dan Ashworth and Michael Appleton. They have always been there for me and living away from home you have someone to talk things through with.

Q5. Which film?

JK: I can't say I've got a film that inspires me. I like all films, especially comedy and action. My favourite is probably Bad Boys 2! I think all lads like that though.

Q6. Which manager?

JK: My local league manager, Brian Cullen. I was at local league until I was 16, I was quite late coming into professional football. He kept pushing me to get trials and encouraged me.

Q7. Which book?

JK: I've been reading some books by James Patterson. At the moment I'm reading 'I, Alex Cross'. It's a detective novel about the main character, Alex Cross, hunting down someone who killed his relative. It's very well written.

Q8. Which famous person?

JK: I don't have a famous person that I look up to in particular. But growing up wanting to become a footballer you look towards the top-class players like Zinedine Zidane.

Q9. Which team-mate in your career?

JK: Matthew Pike. We lived together when he was at the club and we used to pick each other up when we were down as it's not easy being away from home. He is a good friend.

Q10. Which sportsperson outside of football?

JK: I'm not overly interested in any other sport. I like rugby and admire the players in the game, but unfortunately no-one stands out for me.
