Declan Rice

I've seen comparisons between myself and Bobby Moore. It's nice to be told there are similarities, but nobody will come close to him - what a player, what a man! ”

I had to move away from home at 14 and live in a club house in Romford for three years, only seeing my mum and dad twice a week. ”

I love every minute of being at West Ham. ”

I have equal respect and love for both England and Ireland, and therefore, the national team I choose to represent is not a clear-cut, simple selection. ”

When Chelsea let me go, it was really deflating. For me, as a youngster, it's all I ever knew - living 10 minutes from the training ground, going to loads of the games. ”

I am not taking for granted a call-up to the England squad or making any assumption about my future international career. ”

No dream is far away. ”

I'm always composed, calm, and always believe in my own ability, and if I start well, then I end up having a good game, usually. ”

It's important to be vocal, and to be fair, I've always had that in me, to be honest. One of the things my dad has always said to me is make sure you're vocal, and before the game, I always get a text off him telling me to do the things well and again, 'Be vocal, Dec.' ”

The crowd are entitled to their opinion, and as players, we have to go out there and play well. ”
