Ashley Cole

English players are probably scared to come abroad. They are in a comfort zone in England: that's where we grew up; that's where we played in youth teams. ”

When you're growing up and thinking about being a footballer, you want to make as many caps and play as many games as you can. ”

My best memory was probably scoring a penalty against Manchester United. ”

I want to continue to win things, hopefully something with England, and if I can score the winning goal at the World Cup, then maybe they will like me again. ”

I could look back and say I've had a good career. ”

I'm so lucky to have had the career I've had and play with so many amazing players. ”

Of course I've done stupid things in my career, and I do always seem to be in the paper, but I hate seeing myself. ”

I'm not a goalscorer. It's not my job. Everyone always tells me I've never scored. I don't think I've had a shot. ”

I have been lucky to win trophies. That is my aim. ”

I never think I want to go to another World Cup just to be in the record books again and play in six tournaments or four World Cups. If I am lucky enough to go, I want to go there to fight for my place and win something in an England shirt. ”
