iPot meets...Neil Robertson!
The most succesful Aussie snooker player ever! He has about as much in common with Eddie Charlton as...well you get the picture!
Two-time winner on tour last year, the confident left-hander is sure to add to that total in the coming years. He's had a bit of a slow start to the 07/08 season but looks to be coming good with Sheffield just around the corner.
We caught up with him before the Welsh Open to find out his musical influences...
How do you relax between matches?
It can get a bit boring hanging around between matches - if I'm not practising I listen to music or just hang out with the other players, Joe Perry is a good friend and we spend a lot of time together.
Does Music help to relax you?
Yes!
What about inspire you before matches?
Sometimes - I dont do it as a rule but occasionally get some inspiration that way!
What is your song before a big match?
I guess we've all done the Rocky thing before a big game - Eye of the Tiger and all that!
Do you own an iPod / MP3 player?
Yes
Which one?
I had the i-Pod video, but it was too big, so I swapped with a mate for his Nano!
Do you listen when practising?
Sometimes. Not if I am playing someone, but if I'm on my own then yeah, it helps!
What was the last song you listened to on it?
November Rain by Guns n Roses
Who is your favourite bands / singers?
I like all sorts - Metallica, Guns n Roses, and some dance stuff, I like Timbaland at the moment.
Not your stereotypical Aussie who loves Powderfinger then?
Nah, I guess not. I've lived here for so long now, so maybe that's why!
Ever seen anyone live?
No - I havent got into the live scene!
Do you fancy going Glastonbury / Festivals?
What's Glastonbury?
Only the biggest music festival in the world!
Oh! No I havent - a couple of mates wanted me to go with them to one of those things but I dont fancy it - I dont like mud!
If you had sum up your career in a song which song would it be?
