As a footballer, I know I am a role model for a lot of African kids, and I want to make a direct impact on their lives.

There are only a few players who play in the same team all their career. You come from somewhere and go somewhere else.

Scoring goals is what I do best in my career.

I'm not really happy with my football career, but I can't complain about it, either.

Growing up I played piano and I sang at a lot of weddings; I grew up in a very small town, a little coal-mining town in Virginia called Grundy. And my family was very sing-songy at home.

When you are young, nothing is more important than football, but as you get older, you get married, have kids and lose people. Then you realise your family is more important. This comes with age.

I'm the biggest family person you'll meet.

Except two or three parties, most parties are dependent on one family. I believe that only parties where internal democracy is alive can achieve the ideals of democracy.
