| Best Player you played with: | At Larne, despite all the abuse, Johnny Craig, but lets just say Keith Aiston is an exceedingly talented man |

| Who have been the major influences on your career to date? | “Mr LCC” Esler Burke for looking after everyone on the 3rds and 4ths when we were wee ‘uns, “Bucket” Michael Waterman for giving me a chance on the seconds, and the self proclaimed “god-child of LCC” Johnny Craig for consistently trying to hit the ball further than me whilst reminding me I couldn't lace his boots |
| Favourite Food: | A good Ulster fry |
| Favourite Drink: | Guinness |
| What was the most memorable match you have played in? | Last game of 2003 season when we chased 245 to beat Ballymena and stay up and I knocked off a few brisk runs, just pips Stevie Gorman's ton up at Cooke to win the 2nds the league in 2001 |
| What was the funniest thing you have seen in a cricket match? | The infamous incident when Esler sent “Red Card” Rab McClean from the field, to mention one of many |
| What ambitions have you in cricket? | To play in section 1 with Larne |
| What do you think of the current Larne side? | Possibly the best group of players Larne's ever had playing together at any one time, but needs perform more consistently to it's potential to confirm status as best ever |
| Name your all time Larne XI: | 1. Gareth Alexander |
