If you ask me why I've succeeded it's because I was in the Royal Marines. You have this unbelievable sense of achievement and of overcoming adversity. That's the confidence it breeds.

People ask me about my interests outside football, but I haven't really got any.

It's really important how you say things because people won't necessarily remember what words you used but they'll remember how you made them feel.

I don't believe in an 'all-about-me' culture. It's about the group.

I irritate the wife because of my private dancing.

My parents are Irish, my grandparents are Irish, my great-grandparents are Irish. I was born in England; my blood is Irish.

You do have demons throughout the week; every coach does.
