Intro we are back for another episode of Knowing Me Knowing blues and on the sofa today is Freddy [Music] pots Freddy welcome to the sofa how you doing good thank you how are you I'm not bad I am kind of kicking myself cuz I kept saying I wanted the cold weather and now it's cold I don't want it I want the sun back yeah now training was pretty pretty today in the I pr hor I bet we've got some interesting questions for you today from the fans should we jump into it you ready let's go yeah I'm excited okay question number one from gab this is quite a good one actually if Freddy Mercury or Paul Potts you had to B out a Freddy Mercury song or Paul pot song which would you go for a Freddy Mercury song or a Paul pot song Paul pots well I only know Freddy Mercury you don't know whoot is is he the one the uh Opera one off X Factor right yes he is he is an icon I'd go with Freddy Mercury yeah which one which song We Are the Champions very nice because hopefully we'll be singing that at the end of the season strong answer love that um Kyle said would you rather Accordion or Belly Button have a 10in long belly button that swayed to music or accordion for legs what they or accordians you don't know what you know the like push them in and out there's like a little mini piano on the side probably go for the belly button one belly button I mean accordion for legs that's not going to be fun you're not going to get very far no I'll probably 10 long belly button Kyle what made you think of that that's a weird question that you I guess you could tuck that away though couldn't you you could but yeah it's a shange question um okay moving on Michael said Mascot if you had to sneak a Wickam player into West Ham to put on the mascot suit on Match Day who do you think would be best at it um what is the mascot at West Ham it's the um got Hammerhead so just massive Hammer just walks around is there a teddy bear uh and no I don't think so oh but now you have Hammerhead and then there's another one um an iron see I've used his name for quite a few questions like this and I'll probably still go with Jasper Jasper purly because he just does not care what anyone thinks of him that he'll probably just put on the best job yeah I think Jasper would do well as a hammerhead because he just he will not care um if you could bring a previous teammate to Wickham who would it BM a previous teammate to Wickam yeah from West Ham in the probably in the first team I mean yeah Lucas pett would be the dream because he's an unbelievable player every time that I train with him um the stuff he does would be really really entertaining for the fans I think mhm and yeah like I say he's probably the best player that I've I've probably trained with so I'll probably bring him to Le one um Owen said is curtains the Curtains best hairstyle he yes disclaimer he said he does have curtains as well yeah I mean yeah I used to go through a spell where I had long curtains but then I've gone for more of like a a quarter paring yeah there's no curtains today so that question doesn't really probably gone for the quarter paring so I probably say at the moment the quarter part is better okay there we go um who in the team helped you most adapt when you arrived there was a few actually there was um obviously brex helped me out cuz he's my age he's this his first loan he as soon as I walked in I just sort of GRA um went to him out of all people and then key helped me out a few of the older Lads GMAC still takes care of me um I'm close to GMAC um but yeah really in the first week I just noticed everyone sort of takes you in it helps you sett and relas there were quite a lot of new faces this season as well weren't they do you reckon that helped I think so but then there's more experienced players that have you know like seen players young players come into a new club for the first time and they do help you out like some of the older Lads here have been top for me that's lovely uh nothing Weirdest or funniest rumor but T said what is the the weirdest or the funniest rumor that you've heard about yourself yeah honestly I don't have a clue about this one because I ain't had many rumors about me at all so I can't actually answer it but I'd love anything about yourself well I can't not that I can remember though no no no not yet not yet one day uh Josh said what is your Favorite subject at school favorite subject at school apart from PE um I took economics for a level okay yeah that's something that people don't know I got I got an A level in economics I used to like the money side of things I used to I used to like so yeah I'll probably say economics yeah I why I just sort of gravitated towards it uh would Duck or Bears you rather fight a bare size duck or 10 duck sized Bears this is the one that comes up every this one that comes up every week from down 10 duck sized Bears why are you going for the duck sized bear because I don't know I just feel like you can just once you're hitting one you can just kick one with your feet as well there's a lot of kicking going on obviously your footballer so it makes sense but everyone says they'll kick the Bears they're going to be on the floor AR they so yeah I guess so um Dan has got another question and this is also question of the week if the love of your life had the surname pans when you marry Double Barrel would you double barrel your surname and be Freddy pots pans um um it'll be good on the back of my Shir it look pretty cool Freddy pots and pans I'm not changing my name I like it I like pots Freddy pots sticking pot old boys call me pots or potsy no one calls me Freddy either so no double barrel then I don't really like pots pans now um there have been lots of questions about your dad and your brother so I'm just going to fire some of them at you now um did you always want to follow in your dad and brother's footsteps well I think yeah because I've always wanted to be a footballer I've been playing since pretty much pretty much born I've been always playing football but um I wouldn't want to be in their position because obviously they were Defenders but the fact that they've played football has helped me quite a lot so I probably yeah I probably want to following their footsteps who's better at football out of who the whole family the whole family I think myself I'm have to say myself yeah hopefully your dad and brother don't watch this video um Benefits of Family what some of the ways that you have benefited from your family also being professionals um they've helped me to keep grounded I think they've been through especially my brother he's been he's been through the leagues he's been playing in League one with Luton and then the times that I've played well he's kept me grounded but then the times I've I've played um not so well he's he's helped me out and gave me advice so he helped me out quite a lot in terms of helping my performances get better throughout the season cool uh what was Winning the Conference League it like winning the conference league with West Ham yeah uh um probably the best week of my life probably my footballing career probably that was just a special night to be around it I didn't have a I didn't know that I was going to be on the bench I Trav I traveled out there me and another lad called D who was a Youngster with me we traveled out there and then we were sitting in the change room watching everyone get changed everyone prepare and it took about till 20 minutes before we went to warm up one of the lads Emerson he plays for West Ham is gone boys what you doing like you're on the bench get changed so me and divine had no idea and then we just looked at each other no way and then we just could not believe it when we were on the bench and then obviously the way we won it in the last minute with with Bo and scoring and all the fans my my uncle was there was yeah probably the best night of my footb career I bear what stands out the most about it is there like one specific memory the when the final whistle went that was that was that was special with all the fans cuz there was so many fans out there yeah and obviously on the way back on the coach the amount of fans in the city was incredible it was the best night yeah I bet but that was wicked um next question we had a similar question to this a couple of weeks ago yours is slightly different though what financial Soy Sauce Ice Cream compensation would it take for you to eat three scoops of soy sauce flavored ice cream what was the other flavor we had was like mustard or mayo or something Mayo mustard mayo mustard ice cre so how much would it take for me to yeah how much would it take for you to eat three scoops of soy sauce flavored ice cream well I I don't mind soy sauce well yeah that's the that's the downside of it really it I have tried actually olive oil and sea salt ice cream cuz everybody said it was like this trend that apparently it's really nice it's not it's horrific it's Grim um no probably yeah still I probably do it for not not too much money actually I say just go for it I'll just try it yeah say yes in his life so nothing you don't need any conversation not nothing I think it's going to take a little bit but Kan said 10,000 10,000 a no I'm no why less than that 10 quid give me a 10 I'll be happy with trying it there we go £10 pound for some soce flavored ice Best player to play with cream um Milo said what player have you always wanted to play with the [Music] most is be deam cuz I've never actually got to be on the pitch of him at the same time the amount of times I've trained with him I never actually got the experience to share the pitch with him um seeing him in training you can tell how good he actually is firsthand but then you wanted to be on the pitch of him and unfortunately well fortunately for him cuz he's having doing unbelievable Arsenal um it would have been special to have to have shared the pitch before he before he left so probably probably deck maybe one day one manifest it I mean yeah hopefully is he as funny as he seems yeah yeah what has been the best moment Best moment in career in your career so far um well apart from the the European final the goal against Charon was pretty special for me obviously my first my first professional goal and in front of the way it was in front of the away fans um my mates were in the crowd my family was up in the CH stand somewhere it was something that I remember for for a long long time so probably to go that and who Best mate is your best mate in the squad I'm close with a few of them um I got I think I'm close with sads Jasper a few of the younger boys Luca um but everyone honestly everyone gets on this it's weird not many clubs are like this at all um everyone everyone's really positive and the amount of people that say it's like a a family feel everybody says it I can understand why because it really is yeah I haven't really got one that will stand out you just love them all yeah well Freddy thank you so much for joining me on the sofa done free thank you thanks thank you for watching know me known blues and sending in your questions keep your eyes peeled for the player that is next on the sofa
