If I was to spend a day with Muamba we would probably start with a light breakfast, something involving both cereal and a fried version because now he’s not a professional footballer he can get away with eating crap like I do. Probably start off with some Rice Krispies and then move on – fry up would involve egg, bacon, sausage, toast, hash browns, black pudding, beans, mushroom and tomato all washed down with some fresh orange with bits, I presume he’d like that.

Then we’d go for a nice walk around Crompton Lodges to work off some of the fat we’d consumed over our mega breakfast. During this time I would probably grill him on his career and of course post the results on Voice of Bolton. I would ask about his upbringing and the harsh realities of growing up in war zone (London) and then move onto his footballing career. I would very much like to know about the mechanics of his transfer to Bolton and exactly why he decided to make the right decision and come North.

Then it would be lunchtime and seeing as we’d had a big breakfast we’d probably just grab something light such as a Morrisons salad bowl, probably with bacon bits or fried onion bits because as I said earlier now he’s not a pro footballer he can let himself go a bit. During this time we would discuss things like films or music, and I’d get his opinion on Avatar because I thought it was rubbish.

In the afternoon we’d have a game of 5 a side booked at Bury College, so we’d have a drive over to the College in my car and then meet up with whoever we had corralled together to play. Fab would be on my team of course, seeing as he’s my best mate for the day, but I would put him in net because nobody else can put in the work that I do on the 5 a side pitch, top to bottom, left to right like a proper midfield dynamo. Obviously I would let him have a few touches because I’m not a heartless monster.

Once the hour is over we’d go into Bury and probably have a pint at Yates’ Wine Lodge.

As tea time approached we would stay in the pub and order something like the beer and burger offer at £3.99 – I’d pay of course because it’s my treat and I’m generous like that. The pub quiz starts at 8 so we’d have to decide whether we stayed for that or whether we’d get a cab to the cinema to catch Paranormal Activity 4 but I’m not keen on horror films so Fab would have to hold my hand.

We finish the night after the film with a long hug on the car park, and with tears in both our eyes we’d part knowing that we could never again experience another day as perfect as this so long as we both lived.
