I never felt my career was going backwards.

I get recognised in the street, but that's more from all the Scottish people who are down in Blackpool on their holidays.

I just love watching football. It doesn't matter what level it is, whether it's Fleetwood or Blackpool. I love to go and watch games.

When you are happy and playing regular football, that can make life a lot easier.

I love English football because of its brilliant atmosphere, intensity of the competition and the culture of respect that fans and players have for the game.

I'm very, very focused on my children. In fact, I'm very religious about having breakfast with them every morning, having dinner with them every evening, and spend all the weekends with them that I don't work. So as long as I'm not traveling, I'm always with them and I go to their soccer and tennis matches.

We almost need a revolution in the culture of our thinking about football.

I hate the gym, so I try to diversify my workouts with swimming and basketball. Indoors, it's less boring than running. I do find that diet is key. I eat lots of lean protein, no soda, no fast food or fried foods, and a lot of water. But I love food and often cook.
