NAME Duncan Smillie / Dunk.

PREVIOUS CLUBS Whitburn Centre then 5 years at Partick Thistle Glasgow’s 2nd biggest professional football team.
CHILDHOOD CRUSH Jackie Bird, Scottish news reader.
FAVOURITE PROFESSIONAL PLAYER OF ALL TIME
Charlie Nicholas, so much so my first born son is called Charlie.
FAVOURITE BROWNS CLUB PLAYER AND WHY
Billy Quinn, he is a force of nature with the campest walking/running action and a total UFB.
MOST DIFFICULT BROWNS CLUB OPPONENT
Pete Dust, difficult to play against or with someone that has only had 2 hours sleep and measures his game on number of successful nutmegs completed, also has some sort of “SHABBA” tourettes.
MOST MEMORABLE MATCH My back side and Ronny Barkers face..
BIGGEST THRILL Last minute winning goals against your biggest rivals, no better feeling and I mean NO better feeling.
JOHN LENNON OR PAUL MCARTNEY Neither, both overrated posh boys pretending to be working class heroes.
BIGGEST DISAPPOINTMENT Never making Celtic first team, was told only 2 things held me back from this dream, 2 little things – ability and fitness, so close!
BEST COUNTRY VISITED Portugal.
FAVOURITE FOOD Pickled Onion Monster Munch.
FAVOURITE PORTUGUESE FOOD Pastel De Nata, these can only be eaten in even numbers.
FAVOURITE DRINK Super Bock
MISCELLANEOUS LIKES Football, Padel Tennis, Golf, Movies, Music, Jinkys, Celtic, Scotland and pickled onion monster munch.
MISCELLANEOUS DISLIKES Liars – Politicians
FAVOURITE TV SHOW
Sopranos, some times in life you have to think “what would Tony Soprano do?”
FAVOURITE FILM
Close call between Goodfellas and Godfather 2 but I go with GF2, cinematically magnificent with 2 of my favourite actors albeit they never appear in the same time line or scene, masterpiece!
FAVOURITE SINGER
The one and only Paul Hewson more commonly known as BONO! I know many don’t like him but his voice is magnificent live even after all those years, one of my heroes!
FAVOURITE ACTOR Robert De Niro edges it over Pacino but only just and only because he is magnificent even in comedy, so many good films, characters and lines – “you talking to me?”
BIGGEST INFLUENCE ON CAREER Booze unfortunately, it killed it!
BIGGEST DRAG IN SOCCER Anyone calling it soccer or footy, it’s football!
WHAT ONE ITEM WOULD YOU TAKE WITH YOU TO A DESERT ISLAND
A fully fuelled and crewed superyacht.
WHICH PERSON IN THE WORLD WOULD YOU MOST LIKE TO MEET Someone that is alive then 100% Bono, would love to shoot the breeze with him and hear his stories and views on life. Dead person then I would have to say Pope John Paul II, he was a great man, the last great Pope.
