It's top secret: Jermain Defoe
Who is your sporting hero ?[LNB] Ian Wright. He was the best goalscorer, the best finisher. Everyone knows he's a legend for what he did at Arsenal, but to do it in such a short space of time and play for your country after coming to the game late, that's special.[LNB] What would you be if you weren't a sportsman?[LNB] I think I'd have done something constructive because my mum, Sandra, was strict with me. I used to dance when I was young, street dancing. I've been on a float at Notting Hill Carnival![LNB] Which other spor tsman would you like to be?[LNB] I love boxing. Maybe Floyd Mayweather Jnr. His passion and his dedication to the sport is so impressive.[LNB] Career highlight?[LNB] Maybe my first World Cup (last year). To actually play and score (against Slovenia) was like a dream come true.[LNB] ... and the worst moment?[LNB] Injuries are hard to take. Getting relegated with West Ham would be one, because I was young. Then missing out on the World Cup (in 2006). Although now I can see it happened for a reason.[LNB] If your house was burning down, what one possession would you save?[LNB] Probably my little dogs, Ronnie and Reggie.[LNB] What's the best advice you 've ever been given?[LNB] My mum always tells me to work hard and live my life properly, and to keep going if I am disappointed.[LNB] Favourite karaoke song?[LNB] Probably some Bob Marley. No Woman No Cry, that's a tune.[LNB] Three most-listened to songs on your ipod?[LNB] Jagged Edge, Tonight. Drake, Lust for Life, is always loud in the car on a match day. Then some reggae or old school garage.[LNB] Last film you saw?[LNB] 127 Hours. Wow. I watched that on the plane to Dubai. It's crazy.[LNB] Last book you read?[LNB] Psalm 91 out of the Bible. Powerful.[LNB] Favourite pre-match meal?[LNB] Chicken and pasta. Sometimes scrambled egg and baked beans.[LNB] [LNB]Can you cook? Best dish ?[LNB] I can make a basic pasta and salmon dish with a bit of lemon, black pepper and olive oil, but I'm no Ainsley Harriott![LNB] Your favourite holiday destination?[LNB] St Lucia. We went in the summer to do charity work with children, but it's also the ideal place just to relax on the beach.[LNB] In a film of your life, who would YOU like to play you ?[LNB] Denzel Washington (right). He's the best. I don't think he'd be able to play me, but he could try.[LNB] What's the most expensive thing you've ever bought?[LNB] I've bought cars, but the thing I'm most proud of is that I bought my mum a house.[LNB] Tell us a secret...[LNB] I'm scared of spiders. Really bad. I get all shivery.
