Aaron Ramsey

I try to give my best for the team, help the team, and try and go out there and play the best I can for myself as well.

The only way you can get match fitness is by playing games.

At the beginning of the season, you're still getting your fitness levels up, and those first few games are quite tough.

It's quite strange looking down the list of players who've won the young player award in the past and then thinking I'm in there too now. There's some great names like Ryan Giggs, Craig Bellamy - and I can't miss out Chris Gunter - and it's a big boost to be included.

When Bale first started at Tottenham, they were struggling to win whenever he played at left-back, but it is unbelievable how quickly things can change in football.

I know I am not a screamer and a shouter, and I won't change the way I am.

I give everything when I'm on the pitch. When I'm at the training ground, working in the gym or whatever, I always give everything I've got.

The worst position you are in is when you are on the medical bed, and you can't get out on that training pitch.

Every time I step on the pitch, I feel proud to play for my club and my country, so to get to show this pride through my boots has meant a great deal to me.

When I was in school with my friends and stuff, you always used to put yourself in the situation of footballers of the time and pretend to be them.

I like to be involved as much as I can in the game, and in the middle, you're definitely the heartbeat of the team. When you're on the right, you can go minutes without seeing the ball, and that's a long time when you're out on the pitch.

I watch a lot of golf, but I'm only a fair-weather player.
