Ten questions with The King.
1.Full name? Richard Gordon Gent (both my grandfathers were Gordon, I'm just greatful I was the second son, my brother is McDonald...?)
2.Age? 28
3.Place of birth? Camperdown
4.Job? Easiest answer-I work with schools, youth services, welfare organisations in Melton
5.Sporting hero? Andrew Gaze
6.Greatest sporting achievment? I once hit a 7 iron in the hole from 150m. The symbolic part was that I pretty much shanked it, it was summer, it ran along the ground, bounced left, then right, hit a rock, bounced off a tree and then went in...
7.Nerdiest feature or hobby or habbit? Where to start? I like John Denver, I iron my hankies, I prefer the 10am rather than the 6pm service at York Street, I wear converse allstars to work with pants, I have size 12 feet.
8.Earliest sporting memory? Meeting Gary Ablett Snr at Kardinia Park in 1980something. He stretched out his hand, shook mine and said "g'day Richard how are you?" and I said...nothing...don't know why really...
9.Tip for MVP? I think I'll romp it home...
10.Favourite quote? Bueller...Bueller...Bueller

Thanks to Richard for being our very first Player in Profile. Feel free to post your comments.
