In our first of the series, we interview Lakehill Danger Police goalie, and all around ginger-haired tough guy, Andrew "Carpet Matches the Drapes" Whidden.
What is Prince Edward Islander for Goalie?
Blogspot: You play for Lakehill, what specifically attracted you to the club? Was it because they wear red and you are a ginger?
Whidden: The colors were very complimentary, but mainly it was so I felt taller with having T-Roy and Vinnie on the team in Div 3.
Blogspot: What position do you play – missionary or bottom?
Whidden: I'm a keeper... so whatever position I have to do the least work in. (Editor - that would be the bottom)
Blogspot: You play for the Danger Police. Do you have any police or private security experience [don’t talk about your privates]?
Editor - Whidden mentions his privates, we rewind the tape and ask again.
Whidden: I once guarded two droids through the solar system, on a fact finding mission to find my sister and father, and to save the Empire........ sorry, I'm watching Star Wars......... so, no.
Blogspot: What’s your favourite thing about Lakehill and or Braefoot? [can’t answer Al Reid]
Editor - Whidden mentions Al Reid's privates this time. We'd like more but already feel like we are on a tangent and ask the question again.
Whidden: My favorite thing about Braefoot is the turf. And it's a great place to watch Brian Nash injure himself on a regular basis.
Blogspot: Besides long showers, what do you do outside of soccer?
Whidden: I grow grass for a living.... the turf type. I'm a Groundskeeper for a billionare in the Uplands, and manage the 3 acre property.
Editor - We ask Whidden if he knows anyone who can get the other type for us but he goes back to talking about his privates.
Spot the ginger - Whidden is a natural red
Whidden: I went to college with Corey and Trevor, but I know cats and dogs smarter than Corey and Trevor. And Julien's parents own a pizza joint in my hometown.
Blogspot: Remember that time Randy ate all those cheeseburgers? That was pretty funny…
Whidden: Oh ya.... at the Cheeseburger picnic.... those fucking dirty burgers.
Blogspot: On the field, you’ve described your idol as a cross between Mike Peters and an athlete – do you have any other idols?
Blogspot: On the field, you’ve described your idol as a cross between Mike Peters and an athlete – do you have any other idols?
Whidden: A couple of American Idols..... but this guy named Doc we play with.... he may be old, but he's pretty cool.
Editor - Not really, Rimek is cooler.
Blogspot: We hear you used to work in Chicago at the old department store. What did you sell and why did you get fired?
Blogspot: We hear you used to work in Chicago at the old department store. What did you sell and why did you get fired?
Whidden: A woman came in for a ruler, a ruler from the store. A ruler she wanted, 12 inches she got, and I don't work there anymore.
Editor - Now he's back on his privates, we don't have the heart to tell him that we use metric...
Blogspot: Finally – do you have any wisdom or additional information to give to our readers?
Blogspot: Finally – do you have any wisdom or additional information to give to our readers?
Whidden: Practice means to perform, over and over again in the face of all obstacles, some act of vision, of faith, of desire. Practice is a means of inviting the perfection desired. Actually, I stole that from Al Reid during a U-21 game. He rocks.
Editor - He does?
And there you have it: installment number 1 of the People of Braefoot. Stay tuned for more interviews in the coming months.
