Hello. I'm in the very fortunate position of interviewing the legendary Edgar Davids tomorrow. He's in KL to promote street football and I'll be at the press conference, plus should be able to get some one-on-one time (ooh err) with him afterwards.
You lot have been great at suggesting questions for previous interviewees, so I open this thread for any things you'd like to know of Big Eddie D, as he's never called. Of course, any questions and full answers will be posted here as soon as I can.
Setting the bar nice and low, my first question (note my annoying tendency to suck up, prattle on, stray from my original point, ask fifteen questions in one, and generally irritate the shit out of anyone and everyone listening including the interviewee - years of journalism training taught me that), is as follows:
Edgar, you endeared yourself to Spurs fans such as myself in your very first home game when you upended Ray Parlour directly in front of the fans, challenging then lifting the former Arsenal player clean off the ground. As the football season starts, how important is it for players to quickly earn popularity with the fans? And were you aware of the reaction to the Parlour incident? Was it as enjoyable for you as it was for us fans?
