I'd love to be like Steven Gerrard - what a player.
Captain of Liverpool, captain of England and just one of the greatest midfielders ever.
Finn.
(It's Steven Gerrard.)
Want to have a chat?
- OK. - Come on then.
What position do you play?
Normally, like, striker or centre mid.
Yeah? Get all the goals?
- Most of the time. - Good man.
- Thanks for talking to Kop Kids. - My pleasure.
Let's be honest - I reckon you're boss, what's it like being Steven Gerrard?
It's very good. I've got a good life, a healthy family, I'm the captain of Liverpool,
who I supported since I was a young boy.
So I'm living the dream, if you like. Sometimes the days don't go well,
but in the main, I've got a very good life.
My mum knows me better than anyone.
She'd describe me as funny, smart and sporty.
What three words would your mum describe you as? But be honest in case she's watching.
Probably when I was your age she'd describe me exactly the same as you.
I'm not sure what she'd say about me now, she'd probably say I'm lazy,
she'd probably say I harass the life out of her to do my
washing, my ironing and cook my food,
so her opinion might have changed slightly on me now.
My mum makes us have our final Christmas list two months before the big day.
Really?
For Christmas I want an iPad, what will you be putting on your Christmas list this year?
On my Christmas list? I get the same for Christmas all the time -
socks and underpants, that's all I ever get.
What about the Premier League trophy?
Well, I think if that was out there and you could go and buy it,
that'd definitely be on my list,
but unfortunately it's a team effort, so I think it's down to the lads to keep working hard
and keep fighting for it, but it's a really difficult prize to win.
- Let's talk footy. - OK.
I would love to play professional football when I'm older -
what advice would you give a young player like me?
The advice I'd give to you and any other young kids is keep practising
as much as you can, and your school teachers,
your PE teachers and coaches that work with you,
keep listening to them for advice and keep watching as much football as you can
and try and pick up little tips off all the good players.
You're captain of both England and Liverpool -
who gives you the most cheek and how do you deal with it?
It used to be Jamie Carragher, he used to give me the most cheek around here,
he used to give me the most stick, and it's probably Wayne Rooney with England.
Cos they're local Scousers as well, they've got the same humour as myself.
If we were to swap jobs for the day and you could interview anyone in the world,
who would it be and why? And let's make it interesting -
it can't be anyone to do with football.
Can't be anyone to do with football? I was just about to say Lionel Messi as well,
I'd quite like to interview him, to ask him how he's got all them skills
and how did he become that good. Outside of football, erm...
I can't really say a girl either, can I? Because Alex might be watching.
So it would probably be Paul Gascoigne. Do you know him?
- No. - You don't know Paul Gascoigne?
Used to play for England? He cried when he got the yellow card?
- Nothing to do with football. - He doesn't play no more!
- He's not a footballer no more. - He's still got something to do with football.
Eh, OK, fair enough. It'll have to be a film star then. My favourite actor, Robert De Niro.
What's he off?
He's been in loads of big films, but you're not old enough to watch them yet.
You can maybe watch them when you're a bit older.
I've noticed that since Jamie Carragher has retired,
there could be an opening for your new bezzie. What do you look for in a bezzie?
In a best mate I look for someone who I trust, who I like to be around
and who I have loads of fun with.
Since I'm all those things, I'm trustworthy and I'm good to be around
and this has gone so well, what about me, you - bezzies?
I'm fine with that, you seem a nice lad, you seem honest and reliable,
you seem quite fun, so I'll have a bit of that.
Realistically, I don't think we'll work out,
you've got footy and I've got school, and my mate Euan won't be too happy.
Oh, OK, that's fair enough, stay loyal to your other friends.
We can still be mates though, can't we?
- Even though we're not best mates. - Yeah, yeah.
I absolutely hate peanut butter and sprouts, I can't eat them for my health.
- They make me feel sick. - Do they now?
What makes you have a similar reaction?
I don't like sprouts.
I don't like the smell of them or how they look or how they taste.
So I'll agree with you on that one.
As a Kop Kids reporter, my bosses won't let me come back without an exclusive,
so can you give me one?
What are you after, what type of exclusive?
Like...what you had for breakfast, or...
This morning I had two poached eggs on brown toast and a bowl of porridge.
Oh, that's nice, I love porridge.
- That's a big headline, isn't it? - Yeah.
There you go.
Well, I've ran out of questions, so how about we have a kickabout?
Come on then.
"Here's Finn..."
Ohh!
LAUGHING: Go easy.
- Volley. - OK.
I'll try and put power on it.
- Yes! - Good strike.
- Don't forget your left foot as well. - OK.
Have you got a left foot?
- Yeah. - Or is it just for standing on?
Uh, yeah.
That's the one.
Oh, sorry!
Beating me up!
- Good luck with your interviews. - Thanks.
