To be recognised as the best in the whole world at something is an achievement. ”

I'm a footballer first and foremost and I want to be remembered for what I do on the pitch. ”

As a player on the bench, you become like a fan really. You're sitting there shouting 'why did he do that?' or 'no don't pass it there' and I can see why fans get so frustrated. But then I remember what it is like being out there on the pitch and how players can't see everything that fans can see. ”

I went to bikram yoga once, it was fun, but boy was it tough. ”

As a footballer I know what I'm good at and I've now embraced it. ”

My favourite chant is 'you're just a fat Eddie Murphy.' When I heard that I could not stop laughing. I would prefer a 'muscular Eddie Murphy.' ”

When you've only got two days between games the recovery process is key. ”

Training to be a tough tackler isn't easy - you don't want to injure yourself or team-mates so it's crucial that you have self-belief in your abilities and strength. ”

During my career I've come back to clubs after the summer break to see one of my team-mates not really at it because he's been denied a move to a bigger club for whatever reason, and you can see in his body language that he doesn't want to be there and that kind of thing is massively disruptive and negative. ”

As long as I am feeling good I will play football. As long as I am feeling fit, strong and being affective on and off the pitch, I will play the game I love. ”
