My motto in life is 'if you give 100 per cent then no one can ask any more'.

This is the better one. It's identical.

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.

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.

I still get butterflies when England are playing.

I would play in any number shirt for Newcastle United, but the No 9 at Newcastle is something very special and I've always wanted to wear it. I mentioned it to the manager, he mentioned it to Les and Les has been very kind and given it to me.

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'.
