Luke Holden answers some generic questions about his life outside of football...

With no football for the foreseeable future, we are aiming to fill the gaps with some club related content, as well as some generic topics. After our "Getting To Know" series, we put the players in the hot seat and ask them some random questions about their life. First up, is Luke Holden...

Sponsored by: Bridge 2020

Favourite band?
Oasis

Best gig you have been to?
The Killers, Reebok Stadium

Your go to alcoholic drink on a night out?
Usually just drink lager until it becomes too bloating then switch to rhubarb gin and tonic.

Best dance move?
Wish I could say I have a few dance moves but I’m very limited. Don’t really tend to venture onto the dance floor you’re more likely to find me at the bar!

Do you have any party tricks?
I’m pretty decent at being able to flip and catch a large stack of coasters. I can also juggle as well.

Any fears?
I’m not too keen on snakes to be honest.

If you were going to relive one football game without knowing the score, which would you pick?
Blackburn 1-1 Burnley, David Dunn’s 95th minute equaliser.

Favourite foreign leagues to watch?
I’ll go with La Liga even though since they took it off Sky I’ve not seen any of it. Before that I used to watch a bit of Barcelona and Real Madrid.

What car do you drive?
Vauxhall Astra - nothing special. Not really big on cars. If it gets me from A to B then it’ll do for me.

If you were to be in a movie as the main character, which would you choose?
I think I’ll go with a classic from my childhood and say Santiago Munez in “Goal”.

Pet peeve?
Hope my girlfriend doesn’t read this but I’ll go with when we start watching something and she falls asleep. It’s so annoying because I’m left watching it knowing I’m going to have to re-watch it at a later date? it’s even worse if it’s something she’s chosen!

Favourite sportsperson outside of football?
Lewis Hamilton. Britain’s greatest ever sportsperson in my opinion.

If you could only eat one meal for the rest of your life, what would it be?
Spaghetti Bolognese probably, quick and easy and tastes good.

If you could go back in time, what year would you travel to?
Difficult one that. Either my final year of college or one of my university years. Good times.

You're stuck on a desert island with one player from Gate.. Who would you pick?
Easy one this. Chris Webster. He never stops running so he’d go and catch all the food. Not sure how he’d cook it tho because the lad is as daft as a brush. Plus if I had trouble sleeping he’d be able to send me to sleep with his stories.

We'll be looking to add some more questions to the list as we go on, so if there are any questions you want to ask the lads, drop us a message on social media.
