One of the reasons why I wanted to be part of the League Managers Association was because I felt there were an awful lot of foreign coaches coming into these shores, but we were not exporting enough British talent.

As a young Scottish footballer growing up - I always used to follow Scotland and watch the games - Kenny Dalglish, Graeme Souness, and Joe Jordan were players I looked up to.

I would have to consider the U.S.A. job if I was approached because it's one of the big nations in world football, with massive growth potential.

People often talk about a coach's philosophy, but generally, I think managers look at the players they have and then decide on their style.

You'd like more people to recognise what you do is special. But I take the attitude that the best thing I can do for my sport is to be the best at it. The best way people will come to recognise that track and field is a great sport is to see athletes excelling at it. Which is what I intend to do.

Captaincy is a confidence game. When the team is winning and your decisions go well that breeds confidence.

All I do is try to do my best, and I try to enjoy my football as well.

In football, you get criticised if you are sent off. It's my style of play, and nobody can make me change that. Even if I get another red card, then that happens. You become cleverer, maybe look more, and since my red card, I think things have improved.
