Team doctors' jobs those days were to keep you on the field.

Parenting is perhaps the most important job we have in our lives.

I'd been at Chelsea for a while and progressed quite quickly until I got to the first team, and then it was different. I was used to playing every minute of every game, but when you get to that level, the step up is massive. There are world-class players in front of you, and no matter how talented you are, breaking in is difficult.
