Loan star Olly Dyson is into the spotlight for our Favourites feature as he lets us know which way he leans on this series of teasing questions…

Favourite crisps?
I do like crisps. I think my favourites are probably the Thai Sweet Chilli Sensations, they go perfectly after a nice Chinese takeaway!

Favourite drink?
It’s a tough one, that. I really like the strawberry and banana flavour Innocent smoothies. That’s my drink to cure a hangover too, it refreshes me!

Favourite sandwich?
I would go for more of a toastie, if that’s allowed? I have a panini maker at home so a chicken tikka panini on some tiger bread and then whack it on the panini maker. That’s banging.

Favourite pizza?
I don’t particularly like cheese, to be honest. Cheeseless pizza would be my favourite, but I made it once and it all just fell apart and was no good!

Favourite footballer?
When I was a kid my favourite football was always Jack Wilshere. He was frighteningly good, and I remember a game he played for England against Brazil where he just took the micky out of their whole team!

Favourite match?
Can I pick a couple? The Play-Off Final I played in for York was brilliant – a sell-out crowd against Boston which we won to get promotion. Then when I was at Barrow, we went away to Notts County and beat them 3-0 to go top of the league. That was unbelievable.

Favourite song?
Chris Brown’s Deuces. That’s one from my younger years because all the lads would play that when I was at Huddersfield Town.

Favourite band?
I like Oasis, but I couldn’t get any tickets – so I am not a fan anymore!! Haha!

Favourite stadium?
Well, I am a Leeds United fan so I would love to play at Elland Road one day. I will keep on dreaming that I can achieve that some day!

Favourite film?
I do love a good film. I started watching a lot of Will Ferrell films and Get Hard, which he did alongside Kevin Hart, is brilliant. He is pretending to be a hard man in prison to survive!

Favourite TV series?
I have just watched the latest series of Brassic so I am now totally up to date. The finish is horrendous though and it is clearly teeing up another series! It’s so funny though, Tomma is the funniest. I also like Peaky Blinders.

Favourite teammate?
Ooh! Haha! I like Matty Dolan. He’s been there and done it, knows what he’s doing and he’s a good lad as well. I am trying to learn things off him all the time.
