I always dreamed about scoring at St. James' Park. I fancied my chances and the ball flew into the net. I was ecstatic.

We go there with confidence, but we know there is a very fine line between success and failure in this game.

I've got a great life that I really enjoy. But there is something chewing at me inside: that adrenaline rush from football, I miss that.

There was a big possibility that I would have had to leave Newcastle had Ruud Gullit stayed as manager.

You only get one chance of an England debut.

I have always said that the best feeling in the world is scoring a goal. Don't tell my missus that, but it is. When that ball hits the back of the net, it is fantastic.

I have never wanted to go abroad before but you can never say never in football.
