THE CATFLAP CHINWAG WITH…

KELLY DALGLISH

 

If you could have any player in the world at Liverpool who would it be?

Kaka.

 

Who’s the funniest person you’ve interviewed?

The other day we did the Man Utd game when Rio’s shot was sliced in by Craig Gardner and he was being quite funny trying to claim it. I was asking him if it was his goal and he was saying “oh yeah, well you know when you get hold of it like that.” It is easy to take the mick out of yourself when you’ve won 4-1 though.

 

Any tough interviews?

It wasn’t nice interviewing Sammy Lee the other week because he’s a really good guy, he played with my dad and it was quite tough for him at the time but they won the match so it was much easier to interview him afterwards. When people are not doing well it’s not a nice thing to do to, you’ve got to ask the question but you don’t want people to think you’re sticking the boot in.

 

Who’s the biggest football diva you’ve come across?

I’ve not come across a proper diva yet. I don’t really socialise with a lot of them.

 

Wise choice…

Yeah, I find all the fat diamond earrings and the posing quite funny. And I think it’s because I’m older than most of them and I’m not very ‘street’.

 

Any dodgy callers on Talksport?

For some reason Jason (Cundy – co-host) was in a bad mood one night and somebody phoned in to say I was talking rubbish, which is fair enough, but Jason went off on one and got all manly and protective saying “that’s a lady you’re talking to.” I wasn’t even that offended. Usually they are pretty reasonable but this person decided to have a go and Jason stepped in like my night in shining armour.

 

Were you around when Jamie Carragher rang up Adrian Durham’s show?

I was in Valencia for the Americas Cup so I missed the furore over that, but I’ve heard clips of it since...
