To this day, one of my proudest achievements is captaining my country.

I know that I will always regret it later in life if I had turned down the chance to play at another great club like Real Madrid...

I don't regret the decision to retire. My body was losing its edge. I was taking longer to recover from injuries. You have to get out at some point.

I have always believed that if you want to achieve anything special in life you have to work, work, and then work some more.

Some men over-tweeze their eyebrows, and it's just too perfect. Men are meant to have kind of a bushy brow. Too much aftershave is also off-putting; it's one of my pet hates.

We're definitely going to get Brooklyn christened, but we don't know into which religion.

My new tattoo is Jesus being carried by three cherubs. Obviously the cherubs are my boys. At some point they are going to need to look after me. That's what they're doing in the picture. It means a lot.
