My secret is practice.
Hindsight is a wonderful thing.
I still look at myself and want to improve.
I love little kids looking up to me, young players looking up to me, respecting me.
I was forced to masturbate in front of teammates.
I’ve always come back from adversity, and I’ve always had the mentality of proving people wrong.
Maths is totally done differently from what I was taught when I was at school.
No one’s ever really given me any style advice. I wear what I want and it doesn’t matter what other people think.
People react to criticism in different ways and my way is definitely to come out fighting.
I’ll never forget where I’m from, never forget my roots. It doesn’t matter where I live. I’m English simple as that.
I have got this obsessive-compulsive disorder where I have to have everything in a straight line, or everything has to be in pairs.
When I was seven I wanted to be a footballer, but when I was 14, I wanted to be a model. Look where it’s put me now!
I always used to go for blondes and quiet girls, but Victoria is the total opposite – dark and loud.
Everyone’s been so quick to say that I’m really thick or I haven’t gat a people will think whatever they want to think.
I just want people to see me as a hard-working footballer and someone who is passionate about the game.
I don’t have time for hobbies. At the end of the day, I treat my job as a hobby. It’s something I love doing.
My priority is always the family and Victoria and I always ensure we are there for our children. We work hard out family comes first.
To have a successful team, you have to have great players of course – but you have to have good personalities and good people as well.
I have always believed that, if you want to achieve anything special in life you have to work, work, and then work some more.
I don’t think I’m really in a situation to complain, because I consider myself to be privileged to be doing what I do.
