Toughest opponent this season? Best moment in football? Initiation song? Newcastle's Dwight Gayle took on '10 to Tackle' on the EFL Weekly Podcast.
Gayle is the top scorer in the Sky Bet Championship with 13 goals after joining the Magpies from Crystal Palace in the summer.
But why did he get booed off during his initiation song? Here's his '10 to Tackle' answers...
What do your team-mates call you?
Gayley. Not very imaginative, but nice and simple.
What is the best thing about playing for Newcastle?
Playing in front of 52,000 fans every week and selling out away stadiums every week as well. It's fantastic and amazing to play in front of them.
Who's your best team-mate in football?
Probably Fraser Campbell at Palace.
Toughest opponent so far this season?
Dominic Iorfa at Wolves. He has a lot of good attributes and they were good when they were played against and made it hard. They were a tough team to play and beat us on the day.
What is your squad number and what is its significance?
Number nine and I know the history it holds and it's fantastic to wear it. I feel privileged to do so. Alan Shearer congratulated me when I scored my hat-trick against Norwich and there was a bit of amazement to hear from him. Watching him play when I was growing up, it's amazing to get that sort of comment.
Best moment in football so far?
Playing in the FA Cup final last year was one of the best. Growing up knowing the importance of the cup and the excitement it gave me watching it. It was a really good experience.
Worst moment?
Getting relegated from the Championship with Peterborough was a bad one.
Which team do you support?
I don't really. You don't really support anyone when you start playing, you just concentrate on the team you play for. When I was growing up it was Manchester United.
What was your initiation song at Newcastle when you joined?
Wonderwall by Oasis. It got booed off, the boys were not too happy. I'm a bit tone deaf. Grant [Hall] was a great singer…he was curled up in a ball but what came out of his mouth was decent!
Where will Newcastle finish this season?
Top I hope, but we're not getting complacent so we need to keep going and pick up results and see where it takes us at the end of the season.
Watch Wigan v Newcastle live on Sky Sports 1 HD on Wednesday, December 14.
