I'd rather walk off the park with two goals instead of one.

Scoring a goal is the best thing in the world because it's the only thing you can't control or predict.

I want to continue to play and score as many goals as possible for as long as possible.

For a striker, the goals never move. Whatever division you're playing in.

The only thing that got me to believe in myself was scoring goals.

Players at the top level are generally more athletic, stronger and more thoughtful. They have a quicker turn of pace but more than anything they're clinical and decisive in their actions.

The space between keepers and defenders is referred to as the 'corridor of opportunity' - a well-hit pass in there has the goalie questioning whether to come into traffic and defenders unsure of whether or where to clear the ball.

Stadium tunnels are often tight and filled with testosterone. With that combination of a confined space and emotions running high you get the ideal scenario for confrontation.

It was through the Hammerheads that I got a route into the professional game, via a trial at Sunderland from Mick McCarthy and then an invitation to come back to Carlisle in 2004.

Managers can sometimes hold players back for their own benefit.

As a teenager, I was in the Carlisle schoolboy scheme and while I was excited to join at first, I look back on it as a tough few years.

It's always nice to go and play the big teams at the big stadiums.
