“Looking back, I feel for the missus. She used to get the worst of me.” — Andrew Flintoff

My father, Colin, and my brother, Chris, who is four years older than me, were a great help to me when I was younger.

In boxing, Mike Tyson fascinates me. The attitude and confidence that he could not be beaten when he was heavyweight champion of the world was interesting. He came across as very mild-mannered, and much of what he said made sense.

I am not a big fan of hockey.

I can easily go up to 19 stone or so if I'm not careful.
