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

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.

You never get fed up scoring goals.

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.

One of the biggest fears of players in a shootout is letting your teammates down.

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