I've had injuries in the past and I've always said that we earn our money when we're injured, because it's the hardest time. Playing football is the easy part because you're enjoying it.

You cannot have players come on and not make the impact because the game will slowly slip away from you. It is important you are ready.

I want to look back at the end of my career having numerous caps under my belt. That is one of my aims.

When I came up with Burnley, I had my mind set that I've got a job to do in helping to keep Burnley up.

Most countries in Africa have the capacity to be great agricultural producers, but they do only subsistence production. So a family will produce for themselves and nothing more. Why? Because of the systems: The markets are not there to go beyond.

I would love to be married. But it's not a necessity like the way that I feel I need and want to have children. It would be wonderful to have a husband, and I would feel blessed to do it. But I would feel sad for the rest of my life if I had no kids.

I did well in school, was the captain of the wrestling team and the football team, and always got along well with people, so I'm sure I would have gotten a job in the real world. I probably wouldn't have liked that, though.

I was the seventh in the family. By the time I came along, one brother and two sisters had already become teachers, and this was the sort of path carved out for the rest of the family.
