I was growing up watching Rooney as an England legend and as one of the top players in England in my lifetime.

Coming into a new club, it's always exciting.

Sometimes I was getting bored playing in youth games and in the reserves; I didn't think it was challenging. I always wanted to be challenged and better myself.

Petr Cech has been a top keeper in the Premier League for the last 10-12 years. When you're growing up, you see him making these saves week in, week out. He's probably been the most consistent goalkeeper in these last 10 years in the Premier League, so you can't give him too much criticism.

I actually ran in junior high school a little bit, you know, like most kids do in track and things. Then I got out of it and just trained for football and played ball for so many years - high school, college and the NFL.

Sports fans have been mistreated for a long time. They have overpaid for inferior food and they have had poor service.

What we need to do is strike the right balance in our teams for all three formats of the sport.

My process to adapt to English football has been very good.
