During my stint as a journalist for a leading national daily, I had this opportunity to come up with some really creative and out of the box imaginary Q & A's with sporting celebs, who are in the news for the right or wrong reasons. Readers then had to guess who was the interviewed celeb and take home a consolation prize apart from their names being mentioned in the newspaper.
I remember once doing a similar one with a nondescript Aussie cricketer called Michael Buchanan. You are right, his claim to fame was the surname Buchanan, and yes he was the son of coaching guru John Buchanan.
That keeda still keeps coming out many at times. Therefore I have now decided to let it out, twice every week, I will let myself lose with a quick Q & A with the who's who of sporting world, with a very obvious clue to guess who the celeb is.
Here is this week's interview.
This Uruguayan footballer has done everything what's expected from a star. On or off the field, he has been the news maker or rather call it a headline maker. I caught up with him at a bar in Liverpool...
Q: So, what you have been up to exactly?
A: This is English football, played hard and fast. I can't get better than this.
Q: Hasn't your aggression gone beyond a limit?
A: Hmmmm.. Maybe my animal instincts are taking over.
Q: But your behaviour may cost the club big time or you may face a ban too...
A: Rubbish. The Liverpool fans are far more carnivorous than me. They will not spare the FA. Did anything happen to Uruguay after my deliberate handball?
Q: You can't take the club and the league for granted?
A: I am not. I am being paid to perform and score goals. I am performing also and am scoring too. Ain't I doing a good job?
Q: First you deliberately stamped on a player and now bit another. What instigates you to get so wild?
A: The stamping incident was inspired by a dance move from a Bollywood actor named Sunny Leone, no, sorry, Sunny Deol. And biting you should guess it that I watched the Mike Tyson bout a night before the match.
Q: But this isn't the first time you bit a player?
A: Exactly. So why are you guys reacting so much.
Q: If banned then what you will do?
A: First I did that in Dutch League and moved on to English. Now I have done it in English, will go to Germany may be or Spain. Wherever my predatory instinct take me.
Q: So you will continue to be like a wild animal?
A: You #*#hole, let me give you a taste of my wild side. (I try to escape but he bites off the back pocket of my jeans)
