He was asked a rather simply question - “what are your thoughts ahead of the game? - but went on deliver a truly bizarre response in which he discussed penguin, trees and haircuts.

Yes, seriously.

"If a tree falls and nobody is there to hear it fall, does it make a noise?" the 40-year-old responded.

"Does a penguin get cold? What way does your bath water go, clockwise or anti-clockwise when you pull the plug out? You know, these are questions that are going to be asked of us and the questions we need the answers to.

"We're always looking for solutions and need to solve the equation sometimes.

"Sam's had a lovely haircut, it's started to grow out now. Coops is here now, working silently away. Robbie's over there, the first time he's been quiet today.

"Terry's brought a briefcase in. He's got four Japanese talking dogs in there. This is what we work with and we'll continue to work hard."

Aldershot will be a must-follow on Twitter if we're going to be treated to more interviews like that.
