# Getting To Know… Jordan Lussey

**In the latest edition of ‘Getting to Know…’ – the new feature we have here at TBT which allows you to find out a bit more about Liverpool’s up and coming academy players – Jack Watson caught up with highly rated centre midfielder Jordan Lussey.**

**If you weren’t a footballer what would you be?**

That’s a hard one. Ever since I was little I’ve always said I wanted to be a footballer. I’ve never really given anything else a thought! It would probably be something within sport.

**Do you ever play yourself on FIFA or sign yourself for other clubs?**

Haha! I’ve been asked this question a few times! Of course I’ve played myself! It’s every kid’s dream to be on FIFA. I got a tweet telling me I was on the updated Liverpool squad – I was made up!

**Have you ever Googled yourself?**

I think everyone’s done this at some point! I like to check for new pictures from matches.

**Who is the joker in the dressing room?**

We have a few to be fair! There’s a lot of banter within the group, it’d be hard to pick one. The staff are great as well!

**What do you do when you’re not playing football?**

I like to wind down and relax. I love finding a good TV series to keep me entertained!

**Favourite TV show?**

Prison Break! I was addicted to this show, could watch it all day!

**Favourite film(s)?**

Saving Private Ryan. Old classic, unbelievable!

**Your footballing hero?**

Steven Gerrard. He plays in the same position as me and he came through the Academy. He’s an inspiration.

**Favourite car?**

Aston Martin DB9.

**Out of everyone in the squad, who spends the longest in the shower?**

I’d have to probably say Yalany Baio, he’s his biggest fan and takes a bit of time.

**Who do you room with on an away trip?**

It changes quite a bit. I used to share a lot with Sam Gainford.

**Who has the worst dress sense?**

Again I’d say Yalany, although Joe Maguire has started coming in in some dodgy gear this year!

**And finally, where will you be in five years?**

My dream would be to play for Liverpool Football Club. Hopefully I can keep improving my game and see how far it can take me!
