Mark Williams

The two-times World Champion from Cwm in South Wales talks driving mopeds and flying pigs...

What’s your earliest memory?
Going on holiday to a caravan park in Porthcawl when I was about 7 or 8. I remember playing an arcade game called Poll Position – a driving game with a big steering wheel.

Who do you most admire?
My sporting hero is Lennox Lewis, I’ve followed him since I was a kid. I love boxing and did a fair bit of it myself when I was younger. If I could meet anyone for a photo or autograph, it would be Lewis. I did get to meet Michael Watson at the Masters last month, he was in the players' lounge. After what happened to him (going into a coma after a fight against Chris Eubank), it’s amazing how he has recovered and the work he now does for charity. He’s done the London Marathon and it took him six days.

What are you afraid of?
Drowning. I don’t like spiders much either, if you put a tarantula on my hand I would pass out.

If a film was made of your life, who would you want to play the lead role?
Martin Clunes, because he’s got my ears.

What’s your guiltiest pleasure?
Food. I’ll eat anything bad for you, especially chips and other fried food. I don’t do any exercise but I will have to start soon.

What was the most trouble you got into at school?
School was the worst time of my life. The only subject I enjoyed at school was traffic education. We used to drive mopeds around the tennis court. I was good at maths so the teachers put me in one of the higher classes. All my friends were in the lower class and all they did was play darts and watch TV. I wanted to get into their class, so I got all the answers wrong on purpose and didn’t do any homework. The teachers made me stand in the corner with my hands above head. Eventually they gave up and put me in with my friends.

What’s the most money you’ve ever spent on something, apart from a house or car?
A diamond engagement ring for my fiancé. I’m not one to splash out on things. I have done a lot of money on cars though. The most expensive was a Ferrari.

Is there a piece of music which inspires you?
I like a lot of different music, particularly from the 1960s and 80s. My favourite is Michael Jackson. I had a few different tunes for my introduction music at the Masters, including Kasabian and Kings of Leon.

If you had a time machine which could go anywhere forward or back, where would you go?
I’d go forward 100 years. If you think of what’s happened in the last ten years in technology, it would be amazing to see what the world is like in 2110. I reckon there would be pigs flying around, and everyone ducking to get out of their way.

If you could come back in your next life as an animal, what would it be?
A dinosaur, so I could eat everything.
Падает пацтол....

Не, ну скажите, причем здесь летающие поросята? Так ли интересно, чтобы в будущем они летали и мочились всем на головы? Покушать - тоже радость для него.

А про школу...У меня впечатление, что они все были оторви да брось.
