MICKEY FACTS.
- Mickeys only previous job
before signing for Ipswich was a paper round he had until
the age of 21.
- Due to a typing error on
Mickeys signing on form, he spent his first 3 years at
the club under the name 'Stocky Mickwell'.
- Mickeys favourite sandwich
filling is meat paste, cheese and jam although it is
rumoured that he has a soft spot for ham and peanut
butter.
- Player superstitions include
touching the ground whilst running out of the tunnel and
goalies are known to touch both posts and the crossbar
prior to kick-off. Mickey has often been questioned by
the opposition players when seen rolly-polly-ing through
the players tunnel.
- As the squad numbers were
being distributed at the start of the season Mickey
insisted on having the number 7 due to the colour of the
wallpaper in his downstairs toilet.
- Special routes have to be
planned for Town's away journeys and can last anything
upto 3 days due to Mickeys fear of travelling over
bridges.
- Mickey is scared of the
millenium.
- Mickeys drinking partners
include David Johnson, Jamie Clapham, Tony Mowbray and
Bill Oddy.
- Mickey has a sideline in
breeding duck-billed platypuss's - on a recent vacation
to Oz he discovered two extremely rare breeds worth
millions, only for team-mate Richard Naylor to mistake
them for pork pies.
