One accusation you can't throw at me is that I've always done my best.

I still get butterflies when England are playing.

I've never wanted to leave. I'm here for the rest of my life, and hopefully after that as well.

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

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.

When I was a young boy I wanted to play for Newcastle United, I wanted to wear the number nine shirt and I wanted to score goals at St James' Park. I've lived my dream and I realise how lucky I've been to have done that.

The FA Cup means a lot. There is a real passion here for the competition which you don't get elsewhere. It's a love affair. It's part and parcel of living up here. People might think I'm daft, but I'm not wrong; I'd rather win the Cup than the League.
