Player interview with Nigel Drew
If you could take a sportsman from another sport and turn him into a footballer, who would you take?
David Rudisha – 6’3″ and can run very fast. He would probably be the ultimate box to box midfielder.Who was your toughest under-age opponent in back home?
There were quite a few. The one that stands out was a guy from Grenagh called John Russell. I didn’t come up against that often but when I did it was always a tough day at the office.Who was your sporting idol growing up?
Too many to mention. Barry McGuigan’s world title was amazing, I can vaguely remember being allowed stay up late to watch the Pedroza fight. Outside of boxing he seems like a pretty outstanding individual.Do you possess any sentimental GAA items?
A training top that Larry Tompkins gave to me after the Cork football team trained in Macroom in ’89 or ’90. Come to think of it, I haven’t seen it in a while so maybe I no longer have it in my possessionWho is greatest ever sportsman in your opinion?
Ali – no contest.If you could play an All-Ireland final in any stadium outside of Ireland, where would you like to play it?
Definitely San Siro in Milan.What’s the best score you’ve ever gotten in your career?
I haven’t got that many but I remember scoring 1-5 in an under 16 championship semi-final. It was like all my Christmas’ coming at once!Are there any sporting managers from other codes who you find inspirational?
Joe Schmidt seems to be a pretty inspirational coach. Bill Belichick of the New England Patriots also seems like a guy who knows how to get results.What’s the best sports book that you’ve ever read?
Paul McGrath’s autobiography.What is your favourite type of food?
Having spent a few years in boarding school – I will eat whatever is put in front of me. I love a roast on a Sunday.What was the last live sporting event you attended?
