Taking on the Rock n Goal challenge this week is Middlesbrough fan and songsmith Alistair Griffin. He is of course the man behind the Mark Viduka song!

Ideal song for teams to walk out to?

The Power game… old school Ayresome Park walk out music. Or maybe currently Livin’ on A Prayer.

Who’s your football hero?

Slaven and Mowbray were the big ones, John Hendrie too.

Any celebrity football friends?

Doing Coast to Coast Charity bike ride with Craig Hignett in July, he’s a friend and although he’d never admit it, I think he secretly likes my music. Of course Gareth Southgate was a fan of the Viduka song!

Is it better being a rockstar or a footballe?

Well, I’d love to have been a footballer but I guess I’ll have to settle for being a rockstar. Given the wages I’d say footballer!

First match you went to see?

An odd one this, it was the Wilf Mannion Testamonial at Ayresome Park. I was about 4.

Which current player would you most like to have a pint with?

Cesc Fabregas.

Which current player would you least like to have a pint with?

Cristiano Ronaldo.

Alistair Griffin’s new album Albion Sky is to be released in August 2011. Visit http://www.alistairgriffin.com/ for further information.
