Gareth Barry

Everyone's expecting you to be playing fantastic football, winning every game, and course it doesn't happen like that. ”

I played a lot of games for Villa, and one of my regrets is not winning a trophy there - that still hurts, and that's why the big games are important. ”

When somebody tells you they don't think you're good enough here, your face doesn't fit, you don't just roll over; you've got to back yourself. ”

Any crowd that gets on your back makes it difficult, but you are going to get that if things aren't going well. The fans have got their right to give their opinion. ”

One of my strengths is focusing on football, and even in the summer, I try not to switch off too much. ”

After Euro 2008, football in England was shattered for a bit, and people were losing interest in following England. ”

I started my career in an era when footballers were different. There was a different culture. ”

The way you adapt and play against different teams and different styles is going to be important. ”

I've been in the Premier League for 10 years, more, and the money I've been paid is phenomenal compared to your average, everyday working man. ”

You learn from being out of the team, but it makes you desperate for another chance, and when it comes along, you just have to grab it. Don't let go. ”
