I made no secret of the fact I'd love to stay in football and to do that, you need badges. I'm starting them and that's the next step for me - to continue this next season.

When I go home every night, I can look in the mirror and say I have given 110 per cent for Newcastle United. If people aren't happy with that, I can't give any more.

As a kid I always wanted to be a centre-forward. I wanted the buzz and thrill of scoring goals from an early age.

I'd like to play for Newcastle United before I retire. The club is in my blood.

One of the biggest fears of players in a shootout is letting your teammates down.

If you ask footballers to pick out the player they most admire, so many of them will pick Paul Scholes. His passing and shooting is of the highest level and he’s the most consistent and naturally gifted player we’ve had for a long, long time.

Football's not just about scoring goals - it's about winning.
