Throughout my career I have been pretty successful, I've played for some pretty big teams, represented my country quite a few times, and played for managers without sentiment.

Being at a club that supported me meant a lot.

We've been asked to do 'Playboy' together, me and Victoria, as a pair. I don't think I'll ever go naked, but I'll never say never.

That goal [in the 1998 World Cup] changed me-not as a person, but as a player. People have looked at me differently ever since. It gave me confidence and now I feel I can achieve anything.

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

At the end of the day, I'm a footballer who has played at some of the biggest football clubs in the world and played with some of the best players in the world.

As a footballer you always want to test yourself against the best.
