Mickeys playing stats at the begining of the season.

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.
