You know when you play in the big away games that the fans are going to be behind their team and will be booing you. As a professional you need to tune yourself out of that part of the game and concentrate on the job at hand.

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.

I just want people to see me as a hard-working footballer and someone who is passionate about the game.

The buzz is still with me. I get goose bumps.

That was in the past - we're in the future now.

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

I am happier now than I have ever been.
