Arrive Alive Women’s Super League interview with Fatma Agar
1) Your name and occupation?
Everyone calls me Fatty. I work in administration
2) Your favoured playing position?
Striker.
3) What was your first junior club?
The old Sydney United from Auburn
4) What made you take up football?
My Dad was the coach, he taught me everything I know
5) Who has been your most positive influence on your football career?
My teammates over the years, who I still currently play with. If it wasn?t for them I wouldn?t be playing right now. Wadey, our coach for the last 2 seasons is fantastic. He makes me want to go to training and show up to games on time, which is not normal for me. Although he calls me lazy and pokes fun at me in front of everybody, I?d still do anything for the guy. Wadey, I work smart, not hard.
6) Which footballer do you admire most?
Steven Gerrard. He?s Mr Reliable and can change a game with one shot or one pass. 09/10 season he?ll finally win Liverpool the Premier League title.
7) Do you have any match day superstitions (lucky socks, left shoe before right, etc)?
Lucky undies, which aren?t really working this season
8) If you could have a dinner party with any three famous people who would they be? Why?
Pink, I really like the way she speaks her mind. She?s a talented singer and amazing performer, and I think it?s great that she has the courage to say it how she sees it.
Steven Gerrard, although I wouldn?t understand a word he said in his Scouse accent I?d still love to quiz him about winning the Champions League, the FA Cup, and winning the double over Chelsea and Man U this season. You may not have noticed but I?m a Liverpool supporter.
Scott McDonald so I can teach him how to score goals.
9) What song best describes your approach to football?
Welcome to the Jungle, though I don?t think that has anything to do with football, it?s just my rev up song.
10) Is there a particular pre game meal you like to eat?
Coffee and a Cadbury Bubbly. I don?t really do breakfast.
11) What is your favourite football memory?
Scoring 2 goals in the 2-2 draw against Illawarra Stingrays last season. It was a complete team effort with all heart right up until the last second. Also, last Sunday coming off the bench for reserve grade to score an equaliser and set up the winner in the last 15 seconds.
