WHAT WAS YOUR FIRST SHIRT AS A KID?
WHAT WERE YOU WEARING ON YOUR PRO DEBUT?
WHICH IS THE MOST SPECIAL SHIRT YOU’VE WORN?
It would have been a Rangers one. I can’t quite remember how old I was, but I remember it had the sponsor CR Smith on the front, but there was no name or number on the back!
When I was at Hamilton Academical, I made my debut in January 2005 against Ross County in a home game, so I got the wear the red and white hoops for the first time.
It's a shame it isn't a Palace one but I’d have to say the one from the 2013 FA Cup final for Wigan. It’s not hanging up, it’s in a box somewhere so it’s something I’ll cherish when I retire.
