Here is…Christmas with Cheshire Phoenix’s Phil Brandreth.

How will you be spending the Christmas period this year?
With family and friends, girlfriend and working.

What’s your favourite thing about Christmas?
Presents, obviously ha ha!

It doesn’t matter whether you were a child or an adult; what’s been your best ever Christmas present?
I think when the SEGA Megadrive first came out years and years ago, I didn’t even ask for it but my parents surprised me with one. Other than that, it’s always bball shoes or Jordans as I collect them.

What presents have you asked for this year?
The usual: money and clothes.

What do you enjoy more: the giving or receiving?
I love both but giving probably takes the lead. I love spoiling the people that matter.

Any Christmas traditions you’d like to share?
My best mate plays pro in Italy so its always a tradition to go out for a quiet few beers when hes home 😉

If you had to get your coach a Christmas present, what would it be?
A stress ball lol

And finally, what is your Christmas wish for the rest of the BBL season?
To keep playing regular minutes and make sure the team makes a good run in the playoffs.
