Interviews - Nick Buxton

Author: Unknown - Fri 9 Dec 05
Website roving reporter Lauren Hall met up with back-up keeper Nick "Bucko" Buxton, and asked him a few questions about life on the Celtic bench.

Q: What?s the best thing about being at Stalybridge?
A: ?The lads and the fans. The lads are a great group, with the exception of course of Grant Black, and the fans must be the best in our league. We?ve had a great reception since we?ve been here. Surprisingly everyone seems to like Petts as well!".

Q: And the worst?
A: ?The travelling, it can be a real bind at times. Imagine being trapped in a car with Reedy singing".

Q: Who?s the loudest manager you?ve played under?
A: ?Reedy. I?ll have to say Reedy. You've heard him haven't you??

Q: What?s this about you leaving Stalybridge because of your job?
A:?Not so much leaving, just not being able to commit to always being available.
Since I said that though I?ve been to every game apart from last Saturday?.

Q: What?s the most expensive thing you?ve ever bought?
A: "Word of advice for you. Don't ever go out for a beer with Juggsy. That's a wallet-emptying exercise if ever there was one!".

Q: Do you support a league team?
A: ?Newcastle United?

Q: Which team would you love to play for if you weren?t at Celtic?
A: "I'd love to play for the Toon but it ain't gonna happen".

Q: What would you be if you weren?t a footballer?
A: ?Sensible probably?

Q: Who's got the worst dress sense in the team?
A: "Blackie. He?s a pikey and lives in a caravan. Him and his dad both wear lipstick?

Q: Tea or coffee?
A: "Reedy won't let me drink anything but Yorkshire tea".

Q: Salad or chips?
A: ?Chips with loads of salt and vinegar. They have to be done the Yorkshire way in beef dripping though?.

Q: What?s your favourite song at the moment?
A: ?Anything Petts sings. He?s got a great voice you know. He should record with that bloke from Right Said Fred. They could call themselves Two Boiled Eggs?.

Q: Who do you travel to games with?
A: ?I Get chauffer driven by Reedy and Atko, and sometimes Scott Maxfield.?

Q: Who?s the funniest person in the dressing room?
A: ?Me, but I can?t say that. Juggsy?s funny looking, but that?s about it?

?Thanks Lauren, and by the way don?t you think that Lee Ellington looks like Kemal from Big Brother?.?

Who's next for the Hall over treatment? We'll see next week!
