Q: “You are regarded as the greatest forward of your generation and among the greatest players of all time. You are set to make your 300th appearance, an outstanding feat for any athlete. Throughout all your games, what role has music played in your pre-game ritual and why are these the songs you are listening to before you take the field?” A: “I’ve been playing footy for about 14 years now, but my pre-game ritual hasn’t changed that much.
