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

I still get butterflies when England are playing.

If you want to have a great party at Wembley, don't invite the Germans.

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

I've turned down Barcelona, Inter Milan, Juventus and Manchester United to play here. I hope everyone already knows how much it means to me to play for Newcastle United.

If you ask footballers to pick out the player they most admire, so many of them will pick Paul Scholes.

Any change of my style, the way I've played for 10 years, will not be a drastic one. Yes, I've always given as good as I've got; as a forward you have to do that because, if you don't look after yourself, you might find yourself being thrown in a hole and buried.
