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

I didn't watch cartoons, I was too busy playing football.

At times they don't like you to kick them and they feel you're not allowed to kick them.

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.

I've got two girls. I like to play golf. Apart from that there's not a lot goes on in my life. So I am boring, aren't I?

Nothing's black or white in our country - you're either brilliant or you're hopeless

I've turned down Barcelona, Inter Milan, Juventus and Manchester United to play here. I hope everyone already knows how much it means to me to play for Newcastle United.
