Since leaving cricket, I've tried my hand at professional boxing, a live stage show, and working for TV. I've had some interesting experiences, including working with the former basketball player Dennis Rodman.

I was a professional cricketer for 16 years.

I am actually learning to enjoy bowling, and I never thought I'd say that. I didn't enjoy it in the past because it hurt. It hurt my back or my ankle.

It was an old cricket coach who started calling me Fred - as in Flintstone. There are far worse things to be called in the dressing room.

The job of arguing with the umpire belongs to the manager, because it won't hurt the team if he gets thrown out of the game.

We've got to keep the cost of watching football down. If that means players getting the same money for a few years rather than a 25 per cent increase every time, that's fine.

I want to be remembered as a guy who played the game of football right.

At City, you'd see Pep chewing someone's ear off about football and think, 'Wow. I'd love to ask a question, but I'd probably be there for a week.'
