Academy 1-100: Alistair Gould

By: Watford FC Staff

In the 1-100 series, our Young Hornets choose seven numbers between 1 and 100, answering questions that correspond to each specific digit.

Next to take on the questions is defender Alistair Gould.

The versatile 18-year-old joined the Golden Boys in August 2023, having previously featured at Motherwell before moving from his native Scotland to sign a two-year deal with an additional one-year option at The Vic.

72 – What’s the one ground you haven’t played at that you would love the opportunity to do so?

I’ve actually already played at that stadium – Ibrox. That was amazing. If I had to choose another one I’d say the San Siro. All the footballing history and culture makes it a legendary stadium.

18 – You’ve been tasked with creating a boy band. Which teammates (past or present) are you selecting to join you?

There are so many to choose from! Although, I’m not sure there are any decent singers, they’re all terrible. I’ll go with Jonathan Macaulay and Hamzat Balogun.

30 – What is the one sporting profession that you admire the most for what they go through?

I’d say rugby. The amount of hits that those guys can take in a game – I don’t know how they do it. It’s crazy.

64 – You can switch places with anyone else in the world, who do you swap with?

Probably Elon Musk! I’d switch places with him.

80 – You can play in any footballing side in history, what team do you choose and from what era?

The Rangers team from 2004/05. That team was stacked full of legends and it’s when Rangers won the title on Helicopter Sunday.

92 – Who in the squad is the messiest?

I’d probably say Michael Adu-Poku. He’s a top player, but from what I’ve seen he leaves his boots lying about and he doesn’t clean them!

66 – You have a time machine and can go anywhere in the past; when and where do you go?

I’d go back to 1972 to watch Rangers win the European Cup Winners' Cup final at the Camp Nou in Barcelona. I’m sure that would be an amazing match to watch live.
