“A few of the lads were quiet in the gym, and I just came out with a quote just as a laugh.

“Matty (Peet) loved it and got on to me about doing it every day but it’s just a laugh.

“It’s something to look forward to for the lads.

“I do a bit of research but some of the lads come to me with some funny jokes.

“Matty has bought me a quote book, but we just like the funny ones and all the old cliches.

“They come from the heart, but he does tip me up sometimes and I will just deliver.
