I'm a strong person, I'm a strong family man, I'm a strong husband and a strong father.

I am always going to have problems with the paparazzi. I have had two men outside my house for the last two years, which is frightening at times, but that is my life unfortunately.

There is always scope for football to be more charitable but a lot happens already. Personally I have always been passionate about charity.

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

I'll never forget where I'm from, never forget my roots. It doesn't matter where I live. I'm English, simple as that.

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.

Football's the biggest game in the world. America's the greatest sporting nation there is. To play some part in putting those two things together: why wouldn't I be excited about that?
