We all know that there’s only one ‘Beast’ in English football – Wimbledon striker Adebayo Akinfenwa, the strongest player in Fifa 16, writes SIMON AUSTIN.

So we sent along our glamour girl – and avid gamer – Lucy Collett to interview him at the launch of the game.

Ade told us about ‘clothes lining’ Diego Costa, being a ‘chicken taster’ and about his dream of one day taking John Barnes out for a Nando’s.

IT’S BEAUTY…

AND THE BEAST

Beauty: Can you give me your top tips for Fifa 16? What’s your best move?

Beast: I try and play like Barcelona – pass and move, the Liverpool groove. And I play Fifa how I play the game, which is aggressive, Beast Mode. Let me hear you growl.

Beauty: [Tries her best growl].

Beast: Out of five, I will give you one.

Beauty: [Tries again].

Beast: Three and a half, there’s always room for progress.

Beauty: Let’s hear yours then.

Beast: I don’t want to break the camera.

Beauty: I’m a newcomer to Fifa – it has never been a strong point for me. Can you give me any special moves?

Beast: I am all about pace. Which is funny, because in real life I am not about pace. So I try to find my fastest player, cross it into the middle and get it in for the Beast. Beast mode.

Beauty: Brilliant tip.

Beast: Any time baby.

Beauty: Who is the strongest player in Fifa, other than yourself?

Beast: Vincent Kompany is an absolute beast but I have to say Wilfried Bony. Keep it in the striker’s union.

Beauty: Is there anyone you’d like to give a good kick to, in Fifa and real life?

Beast: Back in the day, it was always John Terry. I played against him and he was a quite a humble individual though. So I’ll have to go for someone else. And I’m not going to lie, I wouldn’t mind going toe to toe with Diego Costa. The worst thing is I actually like him. I’m praying we get him in the FA Cup. I would love to mark him in the box. I’d just have to hold him. I can’t condone him all the time, because he does cross the line. But I would like to go 50/50 with him, maybe give him a clothes line.

Beauty: If you weren’t a footballer, what would you be?

Beast: There are three things I’d like to be: a librarian, somebody in charge of chicken or a security guard.

Beauty: Somebody in charge of chicken?! What’s that?

Beast: The one that has to taste the chicken, the one who says yay or nay. I don’t know if there actually is a job like that out there, but there should be.

Beauty: Messi or Ronaldo?

Beast: It’s got to be Messi. I like Ronaldo, because he has worked at his ability to become the second best player in the world. But it’s got to be Messi, because of his grace. And he’s a little bit more humble.

Beauty: What are the best boots you’ve ever owned?

Beast: I am a Nike guy, so it has to be my Nike tiempos. They’re blue and green. I scored a worldy with them and they were also the boots I wore when I played Liverpool last year.

Beauty: Who’s going to win the Prem?

Beast: Man City have the best squad and they have started the best. So it has to be Man City!

Beauty: Who is your footballing hero?

Beast: John Barnes. I’m a Liverpool supporter because of him. He’s just that guy. I’ve met some real legends – Steven Gerrard, Didier Drogba, Thierry Henry, Cristiano Ronaldo, John Terry – but I’ve never met Barnes. John Barnes, you and me, let’s go and get a Nando’s.
