iPot meets...Ryan Day
Top 16 man, Ryan is ready to fulfil the promise that saw him winning titles when he was...um a lot smaller than he is today!
The understudy to fellow countrymen Williams and Stevens for so long, we think he might be ready to take the leading role. A finalist in Malta earlier this year, can he go one better in 2007/08? Cuefactor thinks he could but let's find out a bit more about the boy from Maesycymmer!
We all know that his brother captained the Welsh Under-21 side and played for Manchester City, interesting as that is, we wanted to find out a bit more about him...
How do you relax between matches?
Play some football, a bit of golf and poker, but mainly spend time with my family. Francesca keeps us busy nowadays!
Does Music help to relax you?
Yes
What about inspire you before matches?
Yes
What is your song before matches?
Insomnia by Faithless
Is that because some players send you to sleep?
Nah! Although a few of them can have that effect!
Do you own an iPod / MP3 player?
Yes
Which one?
I'm not sure which one - Maplin gave us all one at the UK Championship last year!
What was the last song you listened to on it?
Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol
How many songs on there?
Only about 400 - but I can only listen to one at a time!!!
Do you listen when practising?
No - I dont do that, I know some players who do, but that would distract me I think - although I never really tried it.
Who is your favourite bands / singers?
Phil Collins, Lionel Rickie, Elton John - don't laugh I really do like them, although I like some of the current stuff too. Snow Patrol, Coldplay, Oasis that kind thing.
Ever seen any of them live?
No, none of them - I'd like to see them especially Phil Collins. The last band I saw live was The Coors.
Where?
Aberdeen Exhibtion and Conference Centre
When was that?
I cant remember which year - but we were playing the Scottish Open next door, so they gave us tickets to go through and watch. Well worth it - the music wasnt bad either!!!
Best Concert?
Um, that's the only one I have been to so I guess I'd have to say the Coors.
Ever been to Glastonbury / Festivals?
NO
Fancy it?
Not really.
Why Not?
I don't like mud!
If you had sum up your career in a song which song would it be?
My Way - by Frank Sinatra!
Cheers Ryan, good luck with the new season!
