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 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.

As a kid I always wanted to be a centre-forward. I wanted the buzz and thrill of scoring goals from an early age.

The managers are getting paid very well by their respective clubs to do a job for their clubs not the country they are working in.

I still get butterflies when England are playing.

I like the tag of being the world's most expensive player. It's an honour and a privilege.

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.
