Curtis Davies
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 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 Baggies skipper, England Under-21 international and former Luton defender Curtis Davies.
Q1: Simply the best match you've ever played in?
CD: When I played for Luton against Brentford in April 2005 on the day we were meant to be lifting the League One trophy. Brentford had beaten us twice already that season and there was quite a rivalry with them. We went 1-0 up early doors but came in at half-time 2-1 down. We didn't want to lift the trophy on a low note and managed to get the equaliser before scoring two more late goals to win 4-2. We lifted the trophy on a high and it was a good game and good day for the club.
Q2: Simply the best meal you've eaten?
CD: The Chinese I had on Saturday from Chongs, Chingford. I just love the all-you-can-eat menu.
Q3: Simply the best player you've played against?
CD: I've played against players like Thierry Henry but the player that has caused me the most problems is Milan Baros. In the game between us and Villa at home last season he was just busy. He runs into holes you don't want him to go.
Q4: Simply the best holiday destination?
CD: Disney Land, Florida. I went there when I was 13 years old and I'm glad I went then because I could appreciate it more. But I think I'd still enjoy going now with all my mates - it's an unbelievable experience.
Q5: Simply the best player you've played with?
CD: Kanu. There are sides to his game some people might not like but his tricks are unbelievable, especially for a big guy. He can do things with a ball some people can't do.
Q6: Simply the best practical joker?
CD: Kevin Nicholls when he was at Luton. He used to do stupid stuff, some sick stuff and some funny stuff. I used to like it when 'Nico' was on the other side of the changing room away from me because he was hyper-active. If he isn't doing something, he's thinking of doing something. There is never a dull moment with him. The best thing is to keep clear of him.
Q7: Simply the best book you've read?
CD: I don't read a lot but I would say, from school, 'Of Mice and Men'. We did that for our coursework and we went to watch the play at the theatre. I quite I enjoyed that but I'm not really a bookworm.
Q8: Simply the best captain you've played with?
CD: Kevin Campbell. He was unbelievable. There were games when we came off the pitch when we'd lost and the gaffer didn't have to say anything because Cambs said it all. He does things in a way that he's harsh to people at times but he does it for the right reasons. He doesn't crucify people. If I could be anything like Cambs and have the respect and aura he had amongst the players, as well as be involved in all the banter, then I'd be happy to be a captain like him.
Q9: Simply the best match you've ever watched?
CD: I watched Luton against Watford in the first round of the Carling Cup in September 2002. Watford were in the Championship and Luton were in League One but won 2-1 at Vicarage Road. It was a great game and the atmosphere was fantastic. I was just a YT player watching from the stands.
Q10: Simply the best car you've ever owned?
CD: My first car. When I was younger I saved every month on a YT budget to get it. It was a Ford Fiesta. I appreciated it so much because I worked so hard for it and earned it. A lorry decided to plough into me on the motorway and it got written off when I did a 360-spin across the carriageway - I was devastated!
