The Junior Gulls have been at it again at their latest Q&A session with a selection of Torquay United players. And it was another great success...
Before the game versus Burton Albion, a selection of the junior gulls formed a guard of honour for the players when they strode out onto the pitch, and after the match they embarked on their latest Q&A with an excellent turn out of around 25 Junior Gulls, where their special guests were Michael Poke, Jake Thomson and Tyrone Thompson.

Each month the Junior Gulls vote for the player who they think has performed the best and the winning player is then presented with a medal and a certificate to acknowledge the fact.
November's Player Of The Month was Michael Poke who received his award from Junior Gulls Adam Walton and Becka Quantick.
December's Player Of The Month was Jake Thomson and he received his award from Joe Smallshaw and Lewis Haggan. Congratulations go to both Michael and Jake on their awards.

As always, the junior Gulls came up with some great questions and here is just a selection of the Q&A session.
One of our number asked what is your worst nightmare? Michael Poke answered being burned alive, while Tyrone Thompson said going to bed and not waking up, therefore not being able to play football. Jake Thomson said his worst nightmare was getting caught in spiders' webs.
When the players were asked which was the worst pitch they had played on, Michael Poke had a selection of answers which included Accrington Stanley, Histon and Barrow. So take your pick.

They were then asked which position they had played in when they has played football as children. Michael Poke played at centre back while both Jake and Tyrone were strikers.
When asked by another Junior Gull which sport they would like to be involved in if they didn't play football, Michael said either golf or rugby, while Tyrone fancied himself as a bit of a tennis player.
As we said earlier, this was just a selection of the many questions that were put to the three players, so a very big thank you to Michael, Jake and Tyrone for giving up their time to the meet the juniors and answer their many and varied questions.
Once the Q&A was over, there were lots of fun and laughter, autographs were signed and and photographs were taken.
