I was incredibly competitive, growing up with two brothers; we'd argue and play against each other in the garden continuously. If we have a competition, I want to beat them.

Playing week in, week out in the Premier League is massive. You're coming across the best players in the world in probably the best league in the world.

It drives you on all season when you see the end rewards, first and foremost for your club, and then, obviously, to play at a World Cup is the pinnacle of anybody's career.

I don't often score goals that aren't with my head!

I'm amazed that years after I stopped playing tennis, people still recognize me in restaurants and ask for my autograph.

My childhood in Adelaide was filled with sport. I played soccer from morning until night.

To me, it's just another game of football - 11 players, a grass pitch. Regardless what shirt I have on, it's important you win the game, and I'm competitive as anyone, and I want to win every game, whether it's a Sunday league game, a five-a-side tournament, or a World Cup qualifier.

I love music, and I love sports. I played sports all throughout school.
