"\u003Cp\u003EAs part of Deliveroo\u0027s new series #Ask, fans were asked to put forward their questions for Leeds United captain Liam Cooper. We caught up with the man himself, and he answered as many as possible over 25 minutes.\u003C/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003ERead some of his answers below, or watch the full episode now:\u003C/p\u003E""\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EWhat is it like to be Leeds United captain?\u003C/strong\u003E\u003C/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0022I say it quite a lot, but it\u0027s a real honour, and it\u0027s a role I take a lot of pride in. I like to think that I set a good example around the place, and try to push people forward every single day. There\u0027s times in the season where the more senior lads, not just myself, need to step up and be the shoulder for everyone to lean on, and drive the team forward. It\u0027s an unbelievable job, I\u0027m enjoying being captain, and long may it continue.\u0022\u00A0\u003C/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EWhat was it like to walk out at Elland Road for the first time?\u003C/strong\u003E\u003C/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0022I had only previously played here in a few reserve fixtures, never a first team game. It was my debut, Billy Sharp scored in the 90th minute, we won 1-0, and as my time has gone on here, I\u0027ll always remember that day. Year on year, the fans keep coming back, make it an unbelievable place, and now we\u0027re filling it every week. It is cliche, but they do really drive us on and they are like our 12th man. The atmosphere is a different class.\u0022\u003C/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EWho would you say you\u0027re closest to in the squad?\u003C/strong\u003E\u003C/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0022That\u0027d probably have to be Stuey. He signed a year after me, we have the same agent, but I never knew him before then. He has a beautiful family, he\u0027s a great guy, and we just seemed to get on from day one. Our families and kids are really close, and it\u0027s just gone from strength to strength. As a group though, it\u0027s great to be part of, and there\u0027s a lot of banter flying about. It\u0027s a young group, and the younger lads drive us older boys on. We thrive off their energy, and try to bring it to our game.\u0022\u003C/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EA Mr Stuart Dallas asks \u0022Who do you love more. Him or your partner?\u0022\u003C/strong\u003E\u003C/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0022It\u0027s a close one haha, but I\u0027ll have to go for Abbie and certainly the kids. He knows I\u0027ve got a lot of love for him,\u00A0 and I\u0027d do anything for him, but I think the missus and the kids come first and foremost before anyone.\u0022\u003C/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EOut of all the squad, who would win in an LUFC Royal Rumble?\u003C/strong\u003E\u003C/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0022I don\u0027t think it\u0027ll be any surprise to anyone, but Berra. I don\u0027t think anyone would go near him, and he\u0027d probably be last man standing without having to do a thing. And, whoever is left standing, would have a hell of a lot to deal with. He\u0027s a great lad, he\u0027s quiet, but when he goes out on that pitch, he\u0027s an animal. He\u0027s a man of few words, but he leads by example in the way he performs and conducts himself around the place. For all the young lads coming through,\u00A0 he\u0027s definitely the way you should be, get your head down and give everything.\u0022\u003C/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EWhat\u0027s been your lockdown routine? How are you keeping yourself fit?\u003C/strong\u003E\u003C/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0022I\u0027ve got a 9 week old son, so we\u0027re just tried him in his own room last night for the first time, and he didn\u0027t do too bad. He can be up anytime from 6 to half 7, my little girl as well, and I\u0027m really enjoying being a dad. I miss a lot at home when the schedule is hectic, so it\u0027s nice to go out for a few strolls, play in the garden with the kids, and spend time with Abbie. It\u0027s been nice to come out of the football bubble, have a bit of reflection,\u00A0 and see what you really do miss. I take my hats off to all the mums and carers out there, who do that day in and day out, as it\u0027s really hard work.\u0022\u003C/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EHow have the team remained motivated over the last few weeks?\u003C/strong\u003E\u003C/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0022The motivation has always been there. We\u0027re nine games away from doing something unbelievable, and that was the message to the group before we did go home. The message is \u0027Look, don\u0027t take your foot off the gas, we still have to train\u0027. The communication with the fitness staff has been second to none, and we\u0027ve really bought into it over the last 18 months, to get to where we want to be, so the lads have been smashing the running sessions. When we return we may only have a few weeks to train, we were on a five game winning run, we need to resume where we left off, and we\u0027ll be looking to do that.\u0022\u003C/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EAll-time favourite movie?\u003C/strong\u003E\u003C/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0022I\u0027ve been asked a few times, and it never changes. Man on Fire with Denzel Washington. I love Denzel films. I don\u0027t usually like to go back to films, so that one sticks out, as it\u0027s one I don\u0027t mind watching again.\u0022\u003C/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EWhat\u0027s your takeaway of choice?\u003C/strong\u003E\u003C/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0022I don\u0027t think you can beat a Chinese. Just the variety they have. My go to order would be salt and pepper chips, salt and pepper chicken, special fried rice, and hopefully they\u0027d throw in a free portion of prawn crackers. We\u0027ll dust those off with a bit of rice as well.\u0022\u003C/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EWould you ever get into management when you retire?\u003C/strong\u003E\u003C/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0022Right now it\u0027s not something I\u0027ve talked about, but I think I\u0027d be stupid to say that I wouldn\u0027t. It interests me, and I know I\u0027ll definitely miss the game. Learning what I\u0027ve learnt over the last 18 months under Marcelo, he\u0027s taught me the way I need to train, the amount of control you need, the way you prepare, how much detail you need to go into, and how much you need to take advantage of training. So I\u0027d want to give it a go.\u0022\u003C/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EWhat inspires you every time you walk onto the pitch?\u003C/strong\u003E\u003C/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0022My family. Every time I think I\u0027m having a bad day, or I feel like I\u0027m down, I look to my family. I want to make them proud all the time. I thought I was doing it for myself before I had my own family, but now I know everything is for them, and I want to give them the best life possible. They\u0027re my inspiration.\u0022\u003C/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EHow much of an impact do the fans have on the team during a game?\u003C/strong\u003E\u003C/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0022It\u0027s massive. There\u0027s been difficult times for the club, for whatever reason things weren\u0027t working, and obviously as players, you get the brunt of that on the pitch, and it\u0027s hard to take at the time. But you look back now, you see it from a fans point of view, you see people paying their hard earned money to come and watch, and if it\u0027s not right on the pitch, you deserve to have your opinion. Since Andrea and Marcelo came in, it\u0027s been unbelievable, it\u0027s been packed out, 35-36,000. It does help, it\u0027s intimidating for other teams, and it really does give us that drive when you here that noise coming from the stand. As a fan, you need the team to lift you, and I feel this season we\u0027ve hopefully done that more times than not, and long may it continue.\u0022\u003C/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EWho did you support growing up?\u003C/strong\u003E\u003C/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0022It\u0027s funny really. I don\u0027t know why but my dad was always a West Ham fan, my family were Hull City fans, but because I\u0027m defiant, I wanted to go against everyone and support Leeds. So it went from there really. My dad tried to drag me to West Ham games, but I never really enjoyed it, especially compared to watching Leeds in the Champions League days. I always had the dream of playing for Leeds, and I\u0027ve exceeded that in captaining the club. My name is with a lot of greats\u00A0 and hopefully in a few years I can be remembered for a lot more. I take inspiration from that and strive to be as good as those guys.\u0022\u003C/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EWho was your football idol growing up?\u003C/strong\u003E\u003C/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0022The Chief. He was aggressive, unbelievable player, and a good guy as well. I think you can always tell the good guys at Leeds United, as the fans really appreciate them long past their playing days. I\u0027ve actually never got to meet him face-to-face yet, and it\u0027d be nice to do so. He\u0027s a legend of the club, and he inspired me when I was younger.\u0022\u003C/p\u003E"
