Saints team-mates: James Downey

Here, the influential Irish centre gives his comedic take on his Northampton team-mates...

Who was the best player you played with?

There were a few. In midfield with me: Jon Clarke and George Pisi. Had great skill-sets.

Who was the toughest player?

Had to give it to two lads, both Irish of course: Roger Wilson and Neil Best. Hard on and off the field.

Who was the most skillful?

Carlos Spencer - he could make you look silly at training, which he did to me on numerous occasions. You couldn't pre-call what he was going to do and just needed to react.

Who was the kitman’s nightmare?

Most players with Kitman Kev - there used to be raids on his training kit as it was tightly rationed! He ran a tight ship and still does no doubt!

Who was the best dancer?

None that would really jump out - surprisingly Jon Clarke had some tight moves. He also felt the more he danced, the less he'd have to buy a round...

Who was the worst dresser?

There's a few in this, Nacho Lobbe was up there, dressed like someone from Narcos with the darts shirt and gold medallion and hairy chest. He was ahead of his time.

Who was the biggest drinker?

A few lads fall into this. Brian Mujati had his home brew, Soane Tonga'uiha wasn't afraid of it either and i'd have been able to hold my own as well! Ian Vass used to attempt to drink, but it wasn't his forte.

Player with the worst chat?

Easily Paul Diggin. Rotten on and off the field!

Who was Mr Vain?

Roger Wilson, without doubt. He had so many male products and again he was ahead of his time before male grooming became the norm. Ben Lewitt a close second!

Who had the best hairstyle?

Tom Wood. Could vary what he had and has gone on to have plenty of decent hairstyles, showing off to the guys who couldn't do much!

Who was the grumpiest?

Few lads in this. Definitely Jon Clarke. He loved a moan and was always grumpy!

Who was the best singer?

Probably have to say Ben Foden as much as it pains. We've all seen his talents!

Who was the leader?

There were a few strong characters: Dylan Hartley, Nacho Lobbe, Bruce Reihana all had their different ways of leading but kept things going to keep a happy camp!

Who was the coach’s favourite?

Few in this i reckon, I might have been there too, but definitely Dylan Hartley was the pet. He could do no wrong, even in Dorian West's eyes!
