HAVE you got a head for figures?

Well, in our new weekly feature, we find out whether the Albion players and coaching staff have!

Every Tuesday, a member of the Baggies camp will randomly pick questions to answer from a colourful selection of 40 puzzlers.

Today, we quiz midfielder Richard Chaplow.

Q1: If you could buy a ticket to any event in the world, what would it be?

RC: I would buy tickets to see Michael Jackson. I think it would be great entertainment. I've heard his concerts are out of this world!

Q3: What would be your choice of outfit at a fancy dress party?

RC: Dr Evil from Austin Powers. I wouldn't have to try too hard!

Q40: If you were cooking to impress, what dish would you select?

RC: Cottage pie with all the trimmings. It's one of my favourite meals.

Q39: Have you any pre-match rituals?

RC: Not really, just the usual stuff like I always put my boot and sock on my left foot first. But that's more out of habit than being a ritual.

Q10: Who did you have a schoolboy crush on?

RC: Definitely Kelly Kapowski from TV show 'Saved by the Bell'.

Q7: What was the last album you downloaded to your Ipod?

RC: 'In My Mind' by Pharrell Williams.

Q23: What keeps you awake at night?

RC: If I have played a match I always have trouble getting to sleep and don't go to bed until 3 or 4am. I tend to relive it over and over in my head.

Q18: What song would you sing if ordered to take part in a Karaoke?

RC: I never do Karaoke! If I was forced into it, I'd choose 'Sitting on the Dock of the Bay' by Otis Redding. It's a classic.

Q15: What was your best and worst subject at school?

RC: My best subject was Sports Studies, I got an A*. I'd have to say my worst was French. I failed that subject and just stopped going to the classes!

Q36: What is your favourite goal you have scored/save you have made?

RC: The volley I scored against Ipswich for Burnley in the 2004/05 season. It helped us to go on and win the game 3-1.

Q2: What is your favourite ice-cream?

RC: Mint choc-chip from Morellis in the Bullring, Birmingham. It's delicious!

Q27: Which words or phrases do you most overuse?

RC: I always say 'that was the WORST thing ever' or 'that was the BEST thing ever'. There's no in between with me! I also say things like 'that T-Shirt is the best in the world', and not just 'that looks nice'. Kevin Phillips tends to find that amusing.

Q17: Which team did you support as a boy?

RC: Burnley was my childhood team. I still follow them and want them to do well, but unfortunately I never get to see them play anymore.

Q5: If you were Prime Minister, what one change would you make to the country?

RC: I would definitely lower taxes so everyone has to pay less.
