Football brings you lots of lovely things, but then you have to realise that it's actually a job.

English football is so physical and fast that when you see a space, you have to go into it with all your speed.

When we play at the World Cup, any African will back any African team. Because we want to hear the different approach to African football. We want to hear that Africans can do well, and Africans do well.

You must respect people, and you must respect money. My father said to me: 'When you respect money, money will respect you.'

I never bothered with cars. I was probably one of the few kids in school who didn't run around with hot-rod magazines. As I would be at home fiddling with my guitar, they would be fiddling with a car engine.

I had some great experiences in England in clubs who are among the best in the country. I was happy there - my family, too. The only error that I made was to sign for Crystal Palace in January 2016.

My mother had been a grade-school teacher, and my father had an eighth-grade education.

The best way I can think of to give back is to ensure that every Hoosier family enjoys a better future.
