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.

My priority is always the family and Victoria [Beckham] and I always ensure we are there for our children. We work hard but family comes first.

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

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.

Keeping fit is really important as playing football is all I've ever wanted to do.

I would never complain about the position I'm in or the attention I get. At the end of the day, I'm very lucky to have what I have and do what I do, but I don't see myself as any different from anyone else who works hard and is a dad and a husband.

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