In his new film Marching Powder, Danny Dyer plays Jack, an ageing, Class A-hoovering hooligan at a turning point, forced to choose between his two great loves: doing loads of cocaine and headbutting provincial football fans and Dani, his increasingly exasperated wife. For Dyer, it’s something of a return to his roots as well as a kind of dialogue with the trajectory of his career.

It’s a Wednesday, mid-morning. Drizzly, cold. Ipswich midfielder Omari Hutchinson leans against the exterior of East London’s Hackney Marshes Centre, a minimalist box-shaped HQ for the most famous amateur football pitches in the world. He’s one of the most promising young players in English football, decked out in Trapstar from his bleached hair to his just-unboxed UK 6.5 Timbs, keeping his compact frame close to the wall – when we hear them. The unmistakable din of lads.

Last Friday, the second in my series of profiles-with-stylish-footballers came out. This time, it was me profiling Joachim Andersen — Crystal Palace’s big handsome beefcake of a centre-half. We spoke almost nothing about football. He hates talking about football and, given my day job, talking about football until my jaw aches, I was happy to oblige. Instead we talked about “lifestyle” — something he has a very nice one of.

Joachim Andersen doesn’t like to talk football. “It’s just always the same thing, you know?” he says, a drained cortado in front of him. “Same questions, same answers. It’s the same thing every week.”It’s part of the job, he knows that. A footballer giving autopilot responses to journalists looking for quotes to file; any words, no matter how inane, about a recent match. It is the give-and-take of his profession.
