You have to listen to the anthems, allow the emotion to come, but then need to snap back into the match and your specific task.

Not everyone agrees. If you disagree with me, I want you to tell me, and I'm going to come back and tell you why it's my opinion.

I see I'm changing the game and opening doors for others, from my beginning from the east end of London. It's not a sob story; it made me the person I am today. It's seeing kids from any area or background you're from. There's a chance; you can make it.

I was never motivated by money. I wanted to be an FA Cup finalist. I wanted to walk up the steps at Wembley. I wanted to win the league. I still only ever want to win trophies.

Being a footballer was about analysing performance, never being satisfied, seeing what lessons you can learn and who you can learn from.

Being away with a national side at a tournament can be hard - you train, go back to your hotel, and often, you sit in your room, watching TV or speaking to people at home. If there's no communal area, it can feel like being in prison, staring at the same four walls all the time.

My dad left home when I was super young, so it was my mum bringing me and my brother up.

I loved getting messages from people saying they were watching during the World Cup with their son or daughter, and they could see they could be involved, too. That was so powerful.

I was fortunate enough to play in a number of finals, and I can still remember waking with butterflies in my stomach. It is at moments like those you realise why you fell in love with football in the first place.

Although more teams are going full-time professional and there's more money involved, our main incentive is simply to play for the love of the game.

I watch a lot of live music, and I love the theatre, especially musicals.

I love music - in my playing days, I was always the team DJ.
