Welcome once more to the latest edition of Get to know a limey. Tonight we will be entertained by the old soldier himself, Mr Micky Hatton!

Step on down Micky...



1. Who is your favourite boxer?

2. What is your favourite film?

3. Favourite book?

4. If after your death the allah fella said you could come back to life as any living creature in the world then who/what would you come back as and why?

(The allah fella has said you can pick from anyone/thing who is alive as of now. You could be a famous geezer or a normal everyday Joe bloggs or any animal or even plant)


5. Micky, a glaswegian and a liverpudlian, could a same sex marriage ever work?

6. Alright Micky me old mucker, picture the scene if you would, Steven Gerrard has just split up with his mrs and he goes out for a night on the town to pull a bird and forget about the ex. He’s in a club at the bar and starts chatting to a sexy young lady who happens to be a liverpool fan. The young lady professes her love for Stevie immediately and the glorious liverpool midfielder beams inside, thinking his luck is in.

Unfortunately for Stevie it is at this moment that the love machine himself, Mr David Hasslehoff (aka The Hoff) walks into the club and takes a fancy to the girl Stevie is chatting to. The Hoff being the Hoff he wanders over and decides to butt in and use his world famous charms to snatch the sexy young lady out of Stevie’s grasp.

So Micky, the question is, how would things pan out? Would The Hoff win out and take Stevie’s bird away and give her a right good shagging? Or would Stevie keep the girl and The Hoff walk away dissapointed… which is it to be?

7. Would you like to be a woman for just one day? And what would you do if you were a bird for a day?

8. Who is your favorite band/artist?

9. Who was the better player, a prime Robbie Fowler or a prime Michael Owen?

10. Which ten words would you say describe you best?



Thanks in advance Micky for taking the time to answer our questions.

1. Who is your favourite boxer?

I have two favourite boxers (outside of the obvious Hatton), but I like them for different reasons.

Muhammed Ali - Great fighter no doubt but for me a far greater man, he is the only fighter that has transcended the sport, I could sit and watch footage of him in and out of the ring all day long.

Marvin Hagler - As a kid I was taken to watch Hagler fight Alan Minter, that stuck with me, he was ferocious and the noise of his shots stayed in my head for years to come, after that I was hooked on Boxing and on Hagler.

2. What is your favourite film?

Again 2 - Star Wars (Changed my life) and Rocky 1, I realise that there is a 70's trend here but I was impressionable, picture Luke Skywalker fighting Apollo Creed with a lightsaber and you get the picture!

3. Favourite book?

The Fog by James Herbert- this is where poisonous gas escapes from a military bunker and sends the local Salisbury inhabitants nuts- superb book (It has nothing to do with the film of the same name with Jamie Lee Curtis in)

4. If after your death the allah fella said you could come back to life as any living creature in the world then who/what would you come back as and why?

(The allah fella has said you can pick from anyone/thing who is alive as of now. You could be a famous geezer or a normal everyday Joe bloggs or any animal or even plant)

A big ****ing tom cat, I would strut around the neighbourhood and carve up my rivals, have no true master, put together a harem of queen cats around me and lick my arse and balls anytime I feel the need to!

5. Micky, a Glaswegian and a Liverpudlian, could a same sex marriage ever work?

Is that a proposal?
Yeah, I suppose it could, one of the two must take on the role of the man and one the woman, there can not be two givers and no takers or vice versa.
My male boss is actually gay and married to a man, they seem happy so yeah it would work.
Glaswegian and Liverpudlian, yeah, all day watching footy in the pub then back to the love nest for a shag, I can see it happening!

Good question- now Stevie is a god but I know for a fact that he worships The Hoff, in fact a mate of mate of a bloke who cleans my windows told me that Stevie hasThe Hoff sewn into his boots so....Stevie would bow down to the Hoff and gladly let him have the girl, however Stevie would then ask the Hoff if he could join in as long as he threw Alex Curran into the deal, the Hoff always the accommodating one would happily agree (so not to be rude)

7. Would you like to be a woman for just one day? And what would you do if you were a bird for a day?

Love to be, I would obviously have a fiddle with myself first, then I would have to use my new found attractiveness to do three things:

a. Try and turn my wife lesbian (for the night)
b. Write a short but successful book on how woman love oral sex and how every woman should learn to swallow (as its good for the skin)
c. Record all my thoughts that day on a Dictaphone so that I could use them later to finally understand women!

8. Who is your favorite band/artist?

The Beatles, then Oasis.


9. Who was the better player, a prime Robbie Fowler or a prime Michael Owen?

Great question- For me it was Robbie Fowler- Owen is a superb player and a great finisher but he scores most of his goals the same way (Pace and box finish) and he scores almost all of his goals with his right foot.
Fowler is probably the most natural goalscorer of modern time, he would score long range goals, tap ins, headers, chips and could score with either foot and his head. In his day (before his two bad ACL Knee injury's) he was toe to toe with Alan Shearer each season for the golden boot, impressive but more impressive when you remember that he was in his late teens/early twenties.
He still shows the odd moment of genius but after his bad injuries he never quite came back the same.

10. Which ten words would you say describe you best?

Dad, husband, optimist, confident, professional, leader, determined, cheeky, powerful and nuts.

Great answers Micky. Laddie will be delighted with your responses to the glaswegian and the liverpudlian question and the favorite band/artist one.

Jimmy will also probably be pleased with your tom cat answer. In fact i bet he's wanking over the thought at this very moment.

...and i agree with you completely that Fowler was the better player in his prime. He was so instinctive it was untrue. I remember going to Old trafford to see the mighty Villa play youse lot in the semi final of the F.A cup and Fowler scored a beautiful volleyed goal from outside of the area and you lot beat us comfortably. I always thought he should've been given more of a chance in the england side during those years when he was at his best.

Impressive :)

A fat Yank could have said no better. Made for great reading Mickey.

These threads are ****ing cool.. and most people give really ****ing good answers..

Cheers Hoff, I was at that game mate McAteer got the third in a 3-0 win if a recall it correctly, I always remember Fowler in another game against Villa, turning and spanking one in from about 25 yards!

Here is a clip with both goals in!
