Andy Carroll will cause anyone problems and I don't see a problem in that

I want to be around when Newcastle win a trophy because I want to see this place lift off. It will be one hell of a party for a 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?

I don't know what I'd have become if I hadn't been a footballer; I wrote down 'dustbin man' on a careers questionnaire at school till my dad made me change it to 'joiner'.

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

Basically, a manager is a father figure to 20 or 25 blokes. It's about trying to get the best out of them and creating team spirit.

I don't watch a lot of TV, to be honest. With three kids I have my hands full.
