NO, it's not an interview with legendary singer Tina Turner!
It's our weekly feature in which we get up close and personal with the Albion players and coaching staff to find out who or what tops their charts.
Every Tuesday, you'll be able to read one of the Hawthorns troops' answers to ten probing questions as we delve into their colourful careers and find out what tickles their fancy in their leisure time.
Today, we chat to young Baggies and England Under-18s goalkeeper Luke Daniels.
Q1: Simply the best match you've ever played in?
LD: It would probably be my England debut for the under 18's against Slovenia about 12 months ago. Just the occasion and what it means though, rather than the game itself as I didn't really have that much to do.
Q2: Simply the best meal you've eaten?
LD: A Chinese chicken curry from a local takeaway back at home. When I go back home I always make sure I have one!
Q3: Simply the best player you've played against?
LD: I once played against Freddie Adou when I was 16 and, even at that age he was a top player. He came over for the World Championships in an American XI and I was playing at Manchester United. He pulled off a lot of tricks and was very strong.
Q4: Simply the best holiday destination?
LD: Definitely Zante last year when I went with some of the other youth-team lads from the club, there was about ten of us altogether. We went over for a week and had a great time. I'm not telling any stories though!
Q5: Simply the best player you've played with?
LD: Jason Koumas. The way he gets on the ball and he knows where his passes are going before he gets the ball. Its makes it easier for others as well because if you make the run you know he is going to be there. Well, not personally, because I don't really run anywhere!
Q6: Simply the best practical joker?
LD: With the young pros everyone is always playing jokes on each other. I can't think of just one person who would stand out. A couple of weeks ago one of them put Vaseline on my car windshield just before I was leaving to go home! As a team we are always laughing and joking so it's a really good atmosphere.
Q7: Simply the best book you've read?
LD:Roy Keane's autobiography a few years ago. I thought it was a good insight into how he was and the way that everything meant so much to him. Learning how he got through everything in his career is something to aspire to.
Q8: Simply the best captain you've played with?
LD: I would definitely say 'Jazza', Jared Hodgkiss. He is always talking, he talks to the senior pros the same way he speaks to the younger lads. It's good to know you are going out onto the pitch with someone that will help you, even if you do something wrong.
Q9: Simply the best match you've ever watched?
LD: when Manchester United won the Champions league in 1999. Bayern Munich scored early on but Man United were throwing everything at them for the rest of the game so when they did get the goals to win 2-1 it was great! Even though I watched it on TV it was an exciting match to watch.
Q10: Simply the best car you've ever owned?
LD: My Ford Fiesta! It's the only one I've ever owned.
