Kevin Gallacher

have you ever......

...played against one of your heroes?

"I admire George Best and when he came to Hibernian I played against him as a kid when I was at Dundee United. He still had great ability and showed a lot of nice touches. When he got the ball, the crowd got ebhind him. But he wasn't 100 % then - it was just in fits and starts. I was still thrilled to have seen him play."

...been to an exotic country?

"My favourite place to go at the moment is Italy. I went to a beautiful part near Bari in the summer. It was a different part of the country from what people would normally go to. It's in the south-east and I had a fantastic time."

...and a brilliant book?

"I don't read much but I recently read "Bravo 20" by Andy McNab. It was all about SAS and it was a big seller. It was a good read and was the first book that I've read since I left school 15 years ago!"

...been given a rollocking by the manager?

"Oh yeah - after I had scored my first-ever hat-trick I got a rollocking for being greedy! I was playing for Dundee United and the manager, Jim McLean, told me that if it wasn't for me, we would have won five or six-nil. I went home in a sulk."
