I was so fully involved in football and building a career that I didn't spend nearly enough time with my son when he was growing up.

I'm always disappointed when we lose, and it's happened quite a few times.

I've got to that stage in my life where, difficult decisions I don't have to make, I push them into the future until such time I have to make them.

For goal-scorers and centre-forwards, confidence does play a big part.

From 17 to 21, I was obsessed by sport and art. In art, I loved the pre-Raphaelites and Rembrandt first. Then I discovered Salvador Dali, and it was like finding something I already knew.

The best thing about football for me is the reacting. It's a lot of instincts. But training, for me, it's more for the meditating. And I spend more time training than actually playing football. So I get into that zone during training more than anything.

Yeah, I think it motivates you as people start to count you out. It doesn't make you play any harder, because every time you go out on the field you give 110 percent, but it does give you more of an edge mentally, knowing that you were in the same situation, because in sports you always find yourself behind.

I probably have more success in football, but baseball is a passion of mine, and I want to play as long as possible.
