Glentoran midfielder Chris Gallagher spills the beans on his Oval teammates

Chris Gallagher is enjoying life at Glentoran.

The midfielder was voted the club's Player of the Month for December for his stellar displays during the festive season.

The 20-year-old also won the same award in November.

Gallagher has been an integral part of Mick McDermott's Glens side which is riding high in the Danske Bank Premiership table.

McDermott is assembling a trophy-hungry squad at the Oval, but what are the players really like?

We decided to quiz Gallagher on his teammates (or dish the dirt on them).

From the player with the worst fashion sense, to the teammate who couldn't finish a pastie supper.

Here's what he had to say:

1. Worst Trainer - Joe Crowe

Sometimes you forget he’s there. I think most of the time he trains in first gear just because he can't be annoyed. He hates warming up and hates running.

2. Teacher's Pet - Conor Pepper

If you are ever unsure on where to find him, he will be in the gym or standing beside the gaffer trying to tell him the session plan.

3. Quickest - Jonny Frazer

A few of the boys would probably like a race to decide this but I will give it to Jonny. He runs so fast sometimes he leaves the ball behind him.

4. Most Skilful - Navid Nasseri

Loves a step-over and a drop of the shoulder. Maybe takes a touch too many at times but a very good player and a great one to have in the team.

5. Thinks he’s a baller, but isn’t - Paddy McClean

This is a hard one. Do I have to answer it? He’ll probably fall out with me over it but Im gonna say Paddy McClean. He does have a bit about him, especially after sending one of the Crues players to the shop and then sending him back to get the change with three Cruyff turns. But when I look at Paddy I see a big centre half who loves a physical battle and isn't shy of a tackle. Hope we can still be mates after this!!

6. Best finisher - Robbie McDaid

Robbie knows where the net is and the stats don't lie. He’s got some important goals for us this season and long may it continue.

7. Worst Finisher - Cameron Stewart

If you want goals from the big man the ball needs to be put on his head.

8. Biggest Slabber - Darren Murray

Every changing room needs someone like Darren Murray. His character is top class but Duzzle loves a moan, whether that's to me about not passing him the ball in training or just slabbering for the sake of it. I think most of the boys will agree.

9. Worst Dresser - Hrvoje Plum

I think the dress sense in Croatia is very different to what we have here in Belfast. A turtleneck and leather jacket is all I have to say.

10. Worst Dancer - John Herron

There are a few candidates for this one but my dance partner on a night out has to get it. John gets so excited when a song comes on that he can dance to. His smile goes from ear to ear and he starts swinging his arms, throwing in a few whips with a little bit of a two-step going on. Frowned upon my many, I'm sure.

11. Worst Drinker - Willie Garrett

Our William, haha! Give him four pints and you can hear him before you see him. Loves to shout ‘ya cert ye!’ I dunno why, but its a good laugh.
