A big Rangers fan, Begby tries to go to Ibrox at least once a year.
A very active person, he enjoys weight training, knife fights and the poetry of Robert Burns.
Begby has a sensitive side too, and likes nothing better than a quiet night in sorting through his videotapes of Swedish erotica.
A keen motorist, Begby is a member of the Halfords' All Year Round Club. He is hoping to collect enough tokens one day to pay for his road tax.
But Begby's biggest asset is his ability to laugh at himself. Always a good sport, he jokes "If you publish this I'll kill you."
