Name: Lee Johnson
Date of birth: 7/6/1981
Club: Bristol City
Position: Midfielder

What car do you drive?
Range Rover sport. A sponsored one.

First car?
Renault Clio. It cost me £3,000 when I was 17. I had been saving up for years - all my birthdays and Christmases. Getting my first car was a big thing for me.

Favourite Film?
Wedding Crashers. It's comedy genius.

Favourite TV programme?
The Apprentice. I would have gone for Kate over Yasmina in the final. Strictly for business reasons, of course!

Favourite band or artist?
Paolo Nutini. I saw him recently at the O2 Academy in Bristol and he was class.

Most expensive item you've bought?
I bought my wife a £4,000 ring when she had our first baby

Do you do DIY?
I do but I've been known to have a few disasters in my time. I'm the DIY disaster king. You know, the usual floods and cock-ups. Whenever I put up pictures, the nails end up scraping all the paint off the walls. When we move house there's going to be marks everywhere. I recently tried to connect a washing machine, which is a simple job, but when I turned it on, it flooded everywhere. That is a regular occurrence at the Johnsons.

Perfect woman - apart from wife/girlfriend?
There's too many to mention! Who's going to read it on the website? Helen Chamberlain. No, only joking. I would say Jessica Alba or Jennifer Love Hewitt.

The lads are over for dinner, what do you cook?
I do a decent salmon and noodles although my wife would say I overplay my hand and cook it too often.

If you were the manager of the club, who would you sign?
I would say Andres Iniesta but he would take my place in the team! So I will go for Lionel Messi. I would love to see him train. His control of the ball while dribbling is so good it looks like he has got bubblegum stuck to his boots.

Best mate in football?
Darren Way. We've been friends since we were at Yeovil together. He's been through an unbelievably hard time since the car accident but he's a tough little bugger.

Room-mate on tour?
Jamie McAllister. He is a good room-mate, to be fair. He snores like a trooper but I'm normally asleep before him. He is always trying to bully the remote but I just put him in a headlock and get it back.

Best prank on tour?
The funniest I have ever seen in football was an incident involving Gavin Williams when we were at Yeovil Town. All the players had bought these little airguns, which don't fire very hard. We were staying at a hotel and thought we had the entire top floor to ourselves. Gavin walked out of his room naked, knocked on the door of another room, which he thought one of us was staying in, and fired his gun as soon as the door opened. He shot an elderly lady, who was staying there with her husband in the only room on the floor we hadn't taken. The entire incident was captured by the CCTV cameras and we all watched it later on, which was hilarious. The lady was class and was absolutely brilliant about it.

Do you play golf?
Yes, badly. I play off 20.

Best goal you've ever scored?
I scored the longest ever hat-trick for Yeovil against Plymouth - the only hat-trick of my professional career. I shanked one in from the half-way line and the other two were 35-yard strikes. It must have been a 130-yard hat-trick. No one can have ever scored a longer one than that, surely? We won the game 3-2 as well.

If you weren't a footballer, what would you be doing?
I would like to say an entrepreneur although I would probably have gone bust four times. Maybe trying new things, inventing stuff or setting up a restaurant perhaps. I would struggle to work for someone else in a business environment.

Most embarrassing moment in football?
During an FA Youth Cup game for Watford against Everton, I ran over to try and take a quick, short corner. The ball boy put the ball on the corner spot and I tried to hit the ball to my team-mate and then run around him to collect the return pass. But I ended up just hitting it for a throw-in - in front of 2,000 people. It was shocking, although I was only 18.

Best stadium you've played at?
Wembley.

Life after football?
I would love to be a coach or a manager but I understand that's not easy as there are not many clubs. I'm halfway through my coaching badges and, in a way, I have lived a managerial career since I was 10 because of the experiences my dad (Gary Johnson) has been through. If not, I would like to try the sports science side or maybe be a personal trainer. Something active.

Best freebie you've ever had?
My sponsored car. I've also got a deal with Puma and I get the full shibu. Day stuff, night stuff, trainers, clothes.

Interesting fact we don't know about you?
I love history. I have just been to Rome with my wife and we did every single tour. I'm a bit of a history geek, particularly the Roman period. I love all the gladiator, Colosseum-type stages, and the way people had to fight just to stay alive. All the pressure, all the noise. In a funny way, there's a bit of a link to football.

Worst dresser at the club?
Marvin Elliott. He comes in wearing the most horrendous tracksuit tops. To brighten them up, he throws on the bling and we're like 'That's just awful, Marv'. He thinks he looks good but it's no wonder he doesn't have a girlfriend!
