Oh, my God, I don't think any player can look forward to or expect to a career of so many Grand Slam wins or title wins or being so long at the top of the game.

I've always been aware that the image you patiently construct for an entire career can be ruined in a minute. It scares you a bit, but that's the way things are.

Early in my career, I struggled with consistency, but I couldn't get more consistent than this year.

I had set a goal with my team to try and get back to the top of the rankings, but I never thought with the depth in the game this year that I would have been able to get it back so quickly.

I'm focused on football and my career. No one really has to doubt that. Outside, I do other things that make me happy.

When I was a kid in Woking, every week you went to the football dance, and every week the top kids would be wearing something different. You were constantly trying to catch up with them - which you could never do because, by the time you'd saved up enough to buy the item, they'd moved on to something else. That's the whole Mod thing, I suppose.

I was the one who took football off the back pages and put it on to page one.

Football is a funny game. Today, you are zero; tomorrow, you are a hero.
