I always wanted kids I could take to work, and for them to experience the things I experience. So, having three boys as a footballer was a dream.

Everyone's been so quick to say that I'm really thick or I haven't got a brain. People will think whatever they want to think.

In Spain people have lunch and dinner a lot later - when I return to England I'll have to eat alone at midnight.

We stay as a team. I might be England captain, but that doesn't mean I get treated differently.

People react to criticism in different ways, and my way is definitely to come out fighting.

Kids can have great passion and great ability but if you have the facilities for your particular sport that can give you the inspiration to become a sportsman.

To have a successful team, you have to have great players of course - but you have to have good personalities and good people as well.
