Yes, I do like to be in control. I do like everything to be laid out, to know what I'm doing. I'm very impatient. I like things done yesterday, which is probably a fault of mine. I like things to be neat and tidy and organised. I say what I want and show what I want and I keep things private.

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

If you take the money away, a lot of the footballers would still be playing football. So, the money has nothing to do with it.

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.

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

I'm lucky and I appreciate that. I love every minute of every day.
