Last updated : 07 August 2010 By Dan Buxton

Will you be staying in the game once you retire? and if so, in what capacity do you think?

I hope to stay in the game, not sure what exactly but most likely in coaching.


Who is the hardest opponent you have faced ,and the most intimidating ground you have been to ?

There's a lot of top players I've come up against, I think Micheal Owen is at the top, Diomansy Kamara who's one of my good friends is up there too. Most intimidating ground has to be newcastle, millwalls up there too.


Whilst at Stoke did you ever try an oatcake? Did you like them \ does you miss them?

Funnily Enough I did try an oatcake lol, I guess I miss them haha.


What team did you support as a boy?

AC Milan, Paulo Maldini was my fave player.


Tell us a story about your time at Stoke?

Me Ricci and Demar were out in Hanley one night, and Ricci was dancin' away and got a drink spilt on his new shorts. He went mad and drove home. He then came back within 20 mins with a new pair of shorts on, and the same thing happened again. Me and Demar were in tears.


Are you going to make an oatcake account?

Dont think so but maybe some day.


Did you ever get frustrated playing at right back for Stoke when your a natural centre back?

Of course I prefer playing at centre back but I was privileged to be involved as much as I was, and learnt a lot from top players.


How are your international prospects looking after you one DR Congo cap five years ago?

I don't know why it doesn't update, I've won a lot more caps since and in every squad for the past 3 years, so I would say my prospects are very high


Did you or any of the other players ever read the Oatcake in either the paper or online form?

I do remember reading the oatcake paper, I think it was Demar Philips who was also reading it.
