Who is your sporting hero?

Seve Ballesteros.

What's the worst country you've ever visited?

I would say Albania. [60 secs: Peter Shilton said that too] I know, I was on that trip!

What is your favourite film?

Raiders of the Lost Ark. I've not seen the new one yet.

How big is your TV?

I've got a 50" plasma.

If you could have a superpower for the day, what would it be?

I'd want to fly.

Ken Livingstone or Boris Johnson?

Boris Johnson. Ken Livingstone was hell bent on taxing 4x4s and I've got a couple.

What's the first record you bought?

Queen. Bohemian Rhapsody I think, but probably a Queen one.

What car do you drive?

I've got a Range Rover, supercharged.

Who is the best player you've ever worked with?

Gazza. No doubt.

What's the worst ground you've visited?

Fenerbahce was the most hostile place I've ever been to, but the worst ground was Hartlepool. Remember I've played in all four divisions.

If you could be a professional in any other sport, what would it be?

Any single sport. Obviously I've done a lot in teams, but maybe a golfer or a tennis player.

Who would be your ideal women?

Pamela Anderson

What do you think about Team GB entering a football team for London 2012?

I think they should do it, and I think it should be just amateurs. No pros. Just let the amateurs do it, that's what the athletes do.

David Seaman was talking to Tony Mabert while training for Soccer Aid, ITV's benefit match in aid of UNICEF.

  2. Why did you wear a pony tail at your age ? Did you­ think old plastic tits would fancy you with a pony tail­ ? Why did you let that goal in against Brazil ? Not­ the fist time was it, what about Nayim ? After that­ goal, on arrival back in UK, why did you prance around­ for the media with your daughter in your arms instead­ of slinking out of the back gate??
