Derek Sneddon
  1 What's your full name as it appears on your birth certificate?
Derek Sneddon
  2 Where were you born?
Falkirk, Scotland
  3 What nicknames have you got?
Deek is the main one I get called. There are others but I know Graeme won't let me put them into print!
  4 Last film you saw at the cinema?
It was AGES ago when I was last in the cinema - probably Harry Potter - one of the first ones!
  5 What's your favourite meal?
Anything with pasta - I love pasta!
  6 Your worst accident - when, where and what happened?
2003 at Workington. Chris Collins, me, and an unscheduled flight over the safety fence and into the crowd. The concrete steps and terracing did a great job at breaking my fall. Unfortunately it also broke my legs. I remember the next day my mate Graeme (Paterson) and George (English) drove all the way from Newcastle to the hospital in Cumbria with Rachel (Blowman) to be there when I came out of the operating theatre.
  7 Healthy salad or chips?
Healthy salad. With chips.
  8 Name the one speedway rider who you look up to - or respect - the most, and tell us why?
I think it's got to be Hans Anderson, because of his style and attitude.
  9 Who's your best mate in speedway?
Probably my mechanic, Chris.
  10 Best mate away from speedway?
Scotty Lamb.
  11 Favourite drink?
JD & Coke.
  12 How many times did you fail your driving test?
What driving test? Oh, erm, I mean once! Haha!
  13 What colour is your bedroom carpet?
Cream. Why are everyone's carpets cream or beige?!
  14 Who's got the worst fashion sense in your team and why?
All of them - except me.
  15 Favourite song of all time and who sang it?
Red Red Wine, by UB40
  16 How many text messages do you send in a week?
Too many. Probably 80-100.
  17 How many people are in your mobile phone?
About 70 I think.
  18 How many of them are only in there so you can see when they're calling and not answer?
Believe it or not - none! The only calls I never answer are from numbers I don't know or withheld numbers. I hate them.
  19 If we all come back as something else in another life, what would you like to come back as, and why?
I'd wanna come back as a monkey. I don't know why really I just love monkeys!!
  20 What are you most frightened of?
Snakes. Simple! I absolutely HATE snakes!
