DAVE SPIKEY

He’s the man who found fame as Jerry St Clair, the compere without compare in Phoenix Nights and as a team captain on 8 Out of 10 Cats. He is DAVE SPIKEY and he’s at your disposal.

Have you been to many Bolton games this season?
This season I’ve not been to too many. I usually get to a few but I’ve been working away a lot this season. I went down to the Chelsea game and we should’ve beat them. I went down to the United game, we did beat them. Not as many as I’d like to.

What does everyone make of Gary Megson now?
The jury is still out. He wouldn’t have been anybody’s first choice to be honest with you. Even looking at his past pedigree. At the time, even though people were getting very disillusioned with Sammy Lee, he should’ve been given a bit longer because, certainly against Chelsea, we were playing the sort of football that he wanted us to play. But Megson seems to have got some confidence back in the team and he’s got Nolan playing again, because he’d been off his game again and he’s playing brilliantly again now. So he’s got something going there but he’s got a long way to go with the players he’s got. I think we’ll stay up but it’ll be tough. Only because there are three or four worse teams than us in the Premier League.
